Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
N/A
 
Details: SUMMARY: Alert follow-up, one of two temporary routines was positive for TC DETAILS: The system was in violation last month for total coliforms. They are due to take 5 temporary routines this month. I spoke to the operator and he thought that it was possible that he did not flush as much water as optimal when taking the samples last month so he did a lot of flushing from the sample sites before this round of Temporary Routine samples this month. ACTION NEEDED: He is going to shock the system this weekend and flush the beginning of the week and take his 3 other TR samples after the chlorine receeds to zero. Determine the next step of action when the results of those samples is known.
