Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Arsenic
 
Details: I spoke with the operator regarding the arsenic exceedance (0.0136 mg/l).

12/8/25: I performed a site visit and I met with the professional engineer that installed the arsenic treatment system. They said that the well gpm has been steadily dropping starting at 20gpm (in July), and now it is at 2-3gpm.Their next course of action is to install a new storage tank outside of the pump room that will house untreated water and from that they’ll be able to achieve a consistent gpm so the treatment devices will be running optimally. At the same time they’ll be removing the T connection that connects both wells since currently both wells meet at a point that which then enter the pump room. They believe that the pressure from each well could be hindering pumping capacity so they will excavate and redesign it in order to not have both well outlets coming to a single connection.
