Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Phil called to review follow up to the alert. The DRC, Dennis, is out of town and will be collecting the 3 repeat samples and (2) triggered source samples week of Aug. 7th. Two of the sources (Deep well and the spring) were active at the time of positive. The Warnock well was not on.

The system was asking about a chlorine flush procedure, and I told them they needed to wait until the follow up samples are analyzed. The question was if they should dissolve calcium hypochlorite prior to adding to the storage tank and I said yes the should. That way they know it is all dissolved.

Further action may be needed based on the follow up results.
