Details: | SUMMARY: Well Water Arsenic Problems/System Consolidation DETAILS: System is a small Community system located within the City of Shady Cove. The system is a groundwater system supplying 150 people through 44 connections. The primary source of water for the system 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 15.58 ppb. HBH was originally contacted by another system (Whispering Pines) to assist with the possible consolidation of several water systems in North Shady cove. The Cty of Shady Cove has no public water system. Rather, residences and businesses are served either through small water systems on private wells. The water systems in North Shady Cove have experienced many problems with quality and quality. A surface water treatment plant is being completed by Premiere West Bank as part of a bankrupt development that included “Shady Cove WW”. An intake on the Rogue River and some piping is already completed. The bank is exploring its 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. HBH attended a follow-up meeting between area water systems and Premiere West Bank. More definitive solutions were discussed. Also, at the request for the system owner, researched options for the owner to cease to be responsible for providing water for the system. ACTION NEEDED: HBH to provide additional assistance with the exploration of consolidation. |
