Compliance & Enforcement: Coliform Investigation: 10/18/2023 - Open

Details: HRCHD attempted a phone call to the operator; we left voice mail (late afternoon of 8/13/24).

We followed up with an email to the operator. The text of the email follows:

"...Paul,

I just left a voicemail message on your cell phone (###-###-####). We need to discuss ‘ALDRIDGE DITCH CO WS’ public water system (OR4101013). If there is anything happening that we are not aware of, please let us know. We want to help resolve the outstanding issues with the water system. If you are no longer the person in-charge of the system, please direct us to the responsible party.

The Concerns:

In addition to being overdue for a water system survey (our last site visit inspection was in 2018), ‘Aldridge Ditch Co WS’ public water system has been designated a ‘Priority Non-Complier’ by the Oregon Health Authority due to several accumulated demerit points (11 demerit points or more):

There are also pending water quality tests that, if missed, will result in additional demerit points:

There have been active formal enforcement actions that are yet to be fully resolved:

While I did see your recent email meant to satisfy the need to publish an annual ‘Consumer Confidence Report’, since it did not contain all of the required language under Rule, I suspect that it will not be approved by the Oregon Health Authority:

Also, there is an overdue public notification that we have no record of:

Next Steps:

We want to help ‘Aldridge Ditch Co WS’ reach compliance. Completing water testing, and public notification steps will resolve these issues.

Unfortunately, we are at a point where if we cannot document movement in the direction of returning to compliance, the Oregon Health Authority, Drinking Water Services Program, will take over (meaning a formal enforcement action).

Call me..., or email me..."
