| Details: | On 1/7/2026 I received an alert for 3 excursions in November 2025 for not meeting the minimum pH of 7.0. pH dropped from 7.25 on Nov 7th to 6.99 on the 8th and 9th, back up to 7.32 on Nov 10th, 6.99 on the 11th, 7.14 on the 12th and was above 7.0 for the remainder of the month. I emailed Matt to let him know that I didn’t catch that they had 3 excursions (days) in November where they fell below the minimum pH of 7.0. I reminded him that if they have than 9 excursions in a 6-month period (e.g., 1/1 – 6/30 or 7/1 – 12/31), they need to go to 6-month lead and copper tap sample monitoring. I let Matt know that I checked the December 2025 report and they didn’t have any excursions, so there is no further action needed at this time and the “clock has re-set” for 2026 on the 9-excursion limit. I noted that they report values every day, which is good, as every day following an excursion for which there is no data, also counts as an excursion. | ||
