| Details: | Kevin contacted me via phone to report that the system will shut off the water service to the city later today to repair a leaking 8-inch main valve located on 94283 Floras Creek Rd. Kevin was exercising the valve, and the stem nut broke causing the leak. One of the board members is contacting someone to repair the leak. Repairs are expected to initiate later today. Kevin is currently hand delivering the boil notices to all affected customers. He is also posting the boil advisory at the mail office and the library. The system is expecting to have the leak fixed by tomorrow (11.29.23). At least two water samples will be collected and analyzed for coliform contamination prior to lifting the boil advisory. Kevin was advised to reach out to Coos County Environmental Health Coordinator, Rick Hallmark. Rick may be able to assist with public inquiries and notification to food service facilities and other licensed facilities. No customers with limited English proficiency have been identified, but Kevin was made aware of this and will make accommodations as necessary. Kevin will email me a copy of the boil advisory later today. Update 11/29/2023: Kevin reported that Bandon Public Works has begun repairing the leak on the main line. Water was shut off at 12:00 pm today and expected to last 4 hours. They anticipate resolving the problem in the next 48 hours. Door-to-door notification will be completed today. Kevin requested additional assistance to address issues with water turbidity. I contacted Steve Reber with Civil West Engineering to request technical assistance for this system.
