| Details: | Contacted PWS to discuss TC+ routine sample collected 9/11/25. Owner noticed that sample ware from laboratory was not properly capped before sample collection, and speculates this was the cause of contamination. DWS instructed PWS to collect three repeat samples from distribution and one triggered sample from the well as soon as possible. Owner is undergoing medical procedure this week and does not have an alternate sampler available; he will fit in the sample collection as able. 9/22/25 - Repeat (3) and triggered source sample collected 9/19/25. Triggered sample and repeat samples collected from pizza shop and coffee stand were absent. Repeat sample collected from post office was TC+. DWS discussed sample collection and next steps with PWS. Post office did not allow PWS representative behind counter to collect sample. Post office employee collected sample without gloves and without flushing faucet. Post office provides bottled water for drinking and hand washing, Otis Junction water only used for toilet flushing in post office building. DWS informed PWS that no additional repeat/triggered samples will be required. A level 1 coliform investigation is needed. DMCE will mail investigation notice to PWS. |
