Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Ryan Sticka with the City of McMinnville called at 2:18 PM on April 16, 2026, to report that a routine sample taken on April 14th at sample site 28 (16th & Elm Street) was total coliform positive (E. coli absent) and that they were going to take repeat samples to the lab. Ryan thought that the sample may have been contaminated during collection as it was windy and raining when they took the sample. Ryan called back at 2:50 PM on April 17th to let us know that the lab had reported the 3 repeat samples as being absent of coliform bacteria. No further action is needed at this time.
