Details: | SUMMARY: Arsenic in source well and systems consolidation DETAILS: System is a small Community water system located within the City of Shady Cove. The system is a ground water system supplying 150 people through 44 connections. The primary source of water is two wells. The wells for the system have tested over the MCL for Arsenic. The most recent test (6/8/09) showed an Arsenic level of 15.8 ppm. HBH was originally contacted by Whispering Pines to assist with the possible consolidation of several systems in North Shady Cove. The City of Shady cove has no public water system. Rather, residents and businesses are served either through small water systems or private wells. The water systems in North Shady Cove have experienced many problems with quantity and quality. A surface water treatment plant is being completed by Premier West Bank as part of a bankrupt development that included Shady Cove Water Works. An intake on the Rogue River and some piping is already complete. The bank is exploring it options regarding the future of the water system. Scott Curry with DWP recommended that the small community water systems contact HBH for assistance with this possible consolidation. I attended meeting between several water systems and other interested parties. Topics of discussion included financing options, water system planning and water system structure. ACTION NEEDED: HBH to provide additional assistance with the exploration of consolidation. |
