Details: SUMMARY: Boil Water Notice for E. coli routine positive followed by TC-positive repeat DETAILS: The TC+ repeat that followed an E.coli positive from a routine sample in the office break room put Dayton on a boil notice.
Dayton notified Lafayette. Lafayette requested separation from the system. (Lafayette is running their auxiliary wells for the time being.) ACTION NEEDED: Notify Lafayette or turn off discharge pump to Lafayette

Distribute Tier 1 Boil Notice with FAQ

Test all raw sample ports from the sources (Label them "Specials")

Increase chlorine residual to a minimum of 0.5 ppm

Flush the system

Assess where any leaks may be and if they can identify & isolate where these potential contamination points are

SAMPLE STRATEGICALLY (Label them "Specials")

after sampling sources, sample the WTP discharge, sample the influent & effluent of reservoirs, booster stations, etc.

Try to isolate the contamination source (ultimate goal!)

Once they are confident their sampling reflects no more contamination, take 4 "Routine" coliform samples

Present the (negative) results to Gary or Pete and discuss potentially lifting the boil notice



Lastly, 1 week from now, have a "Lessons Learned" meeting (maybe with Lafayette, too) to sketch out this protocol in detail and insert it into their ERP.
