Details: SUMMARY: Arsenic & Uranium Removal Assistance DETAILS: River Village MHP operates a small water system that serves 28 people through 19 connections. The system is composed of a 165’ deep well and 3 hp constant speed pump. Water is fed into the laundry building where two 80 gallon pressure tanks feed into to the distribution system. A water meter was recently installed after the pressure tanks. Recently the EPA lowered the Maximum Contaminate Limit (MCL) on arsenic to 0.010 mgl. The most recent test has shown arsenic levels to be as high as 0.06 mgl. EPA has also set a MCL of Uranium of 0.03 mgl and levels have been recorded as high as 0.056 mgl. I met with Mr Longtin and reviewed the system and components and outlined testing on the raw water to help him develop a treatment system. ACTION NEEDED: Waiting for test results.
