Assistance Type: | OTHER REGULATORY - Repeat coliform sample requested to be labeled as routine- denied | ||
Details: | I requested to the state yesterday that a sample that Bear springs took on the 20th of July be changed from a repeat to a routine sample as today is the last day of the month. That request was denied for a few factors:: Advisory was lifted on 7/17 (prior to these samples being collected) The chlorine residual on the June samples was 0 The chlorinator is currently broken (as of 7/30 Level 2 investigation) The chlorine level recorded on these samples is 1.4 The highest recorded chlorine level in the past 3 years is 1.0 (once) and generally averages between 0.02 and 0.8. The assumption is that the chlorinator was likely broken in June and not repaired in-between then and the July samples. The chlorine residual on these results is 1.5X higher than their average high reading. As a result, these samples appear to be a result of shock chlorination. With that, they are not representative of normal operations. |
