Details: SUMMARY: Request to place well #1 back on line DETAILS: Well #1 has had high nitrate levels but nothing over the MCL. I asked operator to pull nitrate and bacteriological on this well. This source will be chlorinated at the well head. This water will enter directly into distribution. There are plans to camera well #3 to investigate the loss of production. It is hoped that the intake screen may be partially plugged by iron bacteria. ACTION NEEDED: If well stays on line for more than 2-3 weeks then testing for Vocs and Socs will have to be made current.
