| Details: | DWS received a report that an apartment building tenant smelled gasoline from their faucet. The water was sampled for NWTPH-HCID - Northwest - Hydrocarbon Identification (GC) and small detections were found for gasoline and diesel. The county suggested the tenants to not drink the water as a precaution. He said the apartments were newly constructed including plumbing (likely plastic), and that the waterline was extended 2 years ago but tenants have only recently moved in. Justin is planning to sample at the service connection for VOCs to compare with regulated contaminant MCLs. They will sample Monday with results expected later that week. He will keep us posted as to the results. | ||
