Details: SUMMARY: TC Positive in Distribution DETAILS: Russ called to notify me that he had received results from lab and had TC+ in one of his routine samples in his distribution system. He had already collected the required repeat samples. Note, since City of Newberg provides 4 log viral innactivation before single entry point for combined wells, no triggered source samples are required. Russ indicated that the positive sample was from an area in the distribution system with chronically low chlorine residual even with reasonably high residual at entry point. ACTION NEEDED: Wait for results of repeat sampling.
