Details: DWS staff reached out to the system to confirm data in their April SWTR. The April SWTR reported 0 NTU for April 9th - 19th (Turbidity as low as 0.01 NTU on the 8th was detected/reported). DWS Staff confirmed the plant was on/operating on those days. System stated turbidity meters on the filters and the CFE turbidity meter were indeed reading 0 NTU. The system recalibrated the meters and utilized a handheld meter on site but were still obtaining 0 NTU readings. Since then, the system has ordered new calibration standards for the meters and the handheld reader, filters were cleaned, and turbidity readings have been >0 NTU.
