The system had been filling water trucks for dust control which could cause large flows within the system and possible turbid conditions. ACTION NEEDED: 4 repeats were taken on 8/13/08 3 of the 4 were + for TC. Posting has taken place and special samples were pulled and testing data is not available at this time. All ice machines have been dumped and bottled water is being supplied until such time that the water is fir to drink.
