Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Howdy Kevin,

Looks like the recent routine coliform sample came back positive. Go ahead and take the triggered source sample and the three repeat samples.

Notes from my visit on October 10th:
A vehicle had recently struck one of the pylons surrounding the well housing, so access could not be gained without unbolting components. Important for the triggered sample.
The hose used to wash down the work vehicles is still attached and remains attached to the spigot in the entry point housing with the water softener.
The entry point housing is not being maintained, and evidence of rodents was seen on the water softener container.
I have included pictures from my last visit below noting the bent pylon, the entry point housing. Attached are comparison pictures of the housing in 2020 and then in 2025.
