Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: I've included a copy of a template for a coliform sampling plan. I have also included a list of accredited Oregon Drinking water Labs.
Check to see if any of them will come out and take the samples for you to have a little bit of peace of mind.

Attached is a copy of the coliform alert response procedure as well as a flow chart for coliform testing.

1. Sampling Technique:
Sample at a non-swivel faucet, removing aerator, screen, hose, or other attachments. Flush tap for 3-5 minutes. While flushing, label sample bottle with all pertinent information: System name and PWS ID; date, time and sample location; sample collector; sample type (distribution routine or repeat, triggered source). Measure and record free chlorine residual if system is chlorinated. Use only sample bottles provided by the lab specifically for bacteriological sampling. Sample bottle should not be opened until the moment of filling.  Avoid touching the inside of lid or bottle.  Reduce water flow to a steady stream and gently fill the bottle leaving an air space of at least ½ inch at the top. Replace lid immediately.  If the sampling technique is not followed, collect another sample using an unopened bottle.
