Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Umpqua Labs took three source samples that they were supposed to take last week.
Onw well, #1, came back positive for coliform, negative for E. coli.
I instructed Diane to shock the cistern, being number one does not have a raw sample tap.
I recently did the water system survey and instructed High Desert that Well #1 needs a raw tap.
I've already completed a Level 2 Investigation and found nothing except no raw tap on Well #1. The coliform is more than likely from the cistern itself.
I also recommended a cleaning schedule for all three cisterns.
November samples will be normal.

The Novemeber samples all came back negative.
