Details: SUMMARY: Total Coliform in Distribution Sample DETAILS: Russ called in to report that their lab had called and alerted him of the total coliform positive in one of his distribution samples collected yesterday. Russ had already collected the required repeat samples and submitted them to the lab. He is concerned that there may be other factors (e.g., contaminated sample bottles, etc) since they had not had a positive in a very long time, and rather suddenly they have had two in the past few weeks. He will contact lab and inquire about possible laboratory problems. ACTION NEEDED: Wait for results of repeat sampling.
