| Assistance Type: | OTHER REGULATORY - Tracer study for WTP-A | ||
| Reasons: | SWTR |
||
| Details: | Tracer Study for WTP-A After the 2025 water system survey, the system was required to update their tracer study due to the addition and replumbing of new storage tanks. While the changes did not directly impact the WTP-A, the operate was advised to also conduct a new tracer study for WTP-A. The operator is currently receiving assistance from our circuit rider technical assistance program to help design the methodology for the tracer study. 02.13.2026-The DRC has provided the circuit rider with key operational data for the tracer study methodology. The Clearwell fluctuates between a maximum of 9,973 gallons (6’8”) and a minimum of 8,976 gallons (6’). Critically, the system lacks low-level lockout protection. If system demand exceeds the 19 GPM refill capacity for an extended period, the tank could drain below the 6-foot mark, risking a pump dry-run and potentially compromising the minimum contact time required for disinfection. In this event, the system would need to issue a boil water advisory. Next steps: The system was instructed to install an electronic flow meter, a mechanical totalizer of a flow restrictor on the effluent side of the clearwell. The operator was advised that they need to provide a timeline for when this will be installed. |
