Upstream and downstream locations were negative, but PWB has confidence in the sample tap. Chlorine residuals were still normal, 1.4 ppm. The reservoir was taken off line, and 35 additional samples were taken from the distribution systems served by Reservoir 3.

A boil water notice will be issued. ACTION NEEDED: County health, DHS-Comm, OERS has been notified.
