Details: | Slightly elevated disinfection byproduct levels (HAA5s) From operator: " November is traditionally a difficult month for us with the DBPs. The total organic carbons in all of our water sources increases significantly due to the first major rainfalls of the year. We always try to use the best source based on UVa readings. This year our best source was Spur 14. However, it could not meet our production demands by itself due to lower flows that occur at the end of summer. So we had to rely on our other sources that had higher organics. " |
