The school has a single well system which serves 44 students and 5 staff in a single school building.

On 12/21/12 and the subsequent 12/27/12 repeats, the well tested positive for E. coli. These were source water tests prior to the chlorination system. A boil water notice was issued and the school has been using bottled water since the positive test.HBH was contacted by Dan Austin to provide assistance in possibly locating the source of the E. coli as well as verifying whether the schools system could provide for 4-log treatment if required.Met with school staff on-site. Inspected top of well and water system inside the school building. Made recommendations for well disinfection. ACTION NEEDED: Possibly perform contact tracer testing on the water system to determine if 4-log treatment is possible without material changes to the system. |
