Details: | SUMMARY: E. Coli positive Alert Response DETAILS: Sherri from Box R lab called to let DWP know that both the untreated assessment sample and the routine treated sample colected 1/5/11 tested positive for E. coli. A chlorine residual of 1 mg/l was written down on the lab slip for the treated sample. Met Roberto on site along with Amy Baker. The old chlorinator had recently been replaced with a Stenner model 85MHP17 17 GPD positive displacement pump. The section of tubing that comes in contact with the roller had failed twice so far, but appeared to be working fine at the time of the site visit. Tested for a chlorine residual and there was none detectable at the tap after the contact tanks. The chlorine solution itself did show chlorine present with the test kit. The chlorinator was plugged into an outlet that allowed it to run 24/7 instead of turning on and off with the well pump. Advised Roberto that the wiring would need to be corrected, and a chlorine residual re-established in the system. Advised Roberto that he must inform all the residents to boil their drinking water until further notice. Checked for a residual in the western supply store served by the system and none was detected. Advised the store manager about the boil notice. Returned to the office. Mailed Roberto both the English and Spanish versions of the boil notice template for distribution. Left a voice message and emailed the system owner, Laurie Stewart, summarizing the situation. ACTION NEEDED: PWS to distribute boil notice, collect repeat and confirmation samples on Monday 1/10. | ||
