Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Nitrate
 
Details: Received alert for nitrate results >5 mg/l from wells #4 and #5. Well #5 is typically between 5-6 mg/l but well #4 has always had very low nitrate results. Spoke with Alex. He said that well #4 was accidentally not turned on before the sample was collected, so the sample contained water from the distribution system supplied by well #5. A nitrate sample from well #4 will be collected shortly using proper procedure.
