Details: SUMMARY: Water quality alert- coliform DETAILS: The Hood River County Health Department received an alert by email on May 9, 2007 for the USFS Wyeth CG in response to a positive result for a repeat coliform sample collected May 7, 2007- the sample was negative for E. coli. The repeat sample was collected in response to a positive result for a routine sample. The HRCHD spoke with the DRC on May 9, 2007. With consent from the HRCHD, the DRC has shut down the branch of the distribution system that supplies the kiosk and group site 1 sample locations to isolate affected portions of the system. The DRC has posted public notification IAW OAR 333-061-0042(2)(b)(A).
