Details: SUMMARY: Potential backflow at Eugene Mission to be repaired DETAILS: An anonymous caller from the Eugene Mission expressed concern that people were becoming ill after drinking the water there. He specifically described the illness as gastrointestinal in nature. The symptoms would disappear if the individual stopped drinking the water. I reported this to Steve Blair at Hayden Bridge. He dispatched staff to the facility and apparently the conditions there were "pretty bad". Apparently there were a couple of "suspicious connections" that might be yielding a backflow issue. Steve indicated that Jesse Roberts of EWEBs water division would look at the problem and take care of what ever needed to be done. ACTION NEEDED: None
