Details: | Susan and I spoke about aspects of the water system and administrative order issued by OHA. Susan clarified that Upper Coos River Water Association (UCRWA) is only a small portion of the homes served by the larger water system, and several other properties also receive water from the system. Some properties within the UCRWA don't even use the water from the system for human consumption and have either a private well or a different surface water source. UCRWA doesn't own all of the water system facilities and doesn't own or have legal access to the property where the source water impoundment is located. UCRWA was formed for the specific intent of transferring a portion of the water right for the impoundment so the six homes would have legal right to use the water. Susan stated, based on her description, that UCRWA has not issued public notice to other residents and has simply received post cards stating the water system was in violation. She promised to collect a sample for coliform bacteria and nitrate to resolve the past monitoring violations. |
