Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Arsenic
N/A
 
Details: SUMMARY: Arsenic Alert Response DETAILS: Received alert for result of 30.3 ppb from arsenic sample collected 5/19/08. Spoke with Les. He said the June arsenic result was 18-19 ppb, which indicates the treatment system is still not operating effectively. A conference call was held last week with Battelle and Mike Holladay. Purolite is planning to replace the media in the treatment units in November. Online nitrate and arsenic analyzers will be installed so the concentrations can be monitored continuously. ACTION NEEDED: PWS to resample for arsenic in 4th quarter.
