Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Mr. Waterbury called OHA-DWS immediately upon notification from Wickiup's lab that he was heading out to the field to take 3 coliform Repeats.

Importantly, today is dry, and yesterday was a heavy downpour. In all likelihood the Routine coliform sample was positive due to splashing water in the rain - at least that's a common cause. And despite his efforts to shield the sample bottle, the result came back TC+.
