Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: The August 8, 2025 routine source assessment sample collected at River Well 1, site SRC-BA, tested positive for the presence of total coliform bacteria. When a groundwater (GW) source sample is total coliform positive only (E. coli absent), no action is required. Future total coliform positive GW source samples will be tracked, and if there is a pattern or series of positives at a given well, additional measures may be required, such as requiring monthly, rather than annual, source assessment monitoring at that well.
