New sampling station at Kalmiopsis Elementary School (KES).

The operator informed me that the water system has recently added a new coliform sampling port station at the Kalmiopsis Elementary School (KES) to replace the hose bib location at the high school at 625 Pioneer Drive. The reason for the change was because the system was taking the sample from a hose bib located on the outside wall of the high school, which was close to the ground. The new location (KES) provides the system with a permanent sample station, easier access, and is closer to the actual water main. The operator stated that the location of the KES sample station is representative of the same water quality as the 625 Pioneer Drive sampling location, as they draw from the same water main. The change was approved. The system will begin sampling from the KES sampling station on March 18, 2025.
