Details: SUMMARY: MPA Sampling DETAILS: Jackson Creek Water Association serves 17 connections with approximately 45 people. The system is composed of a well that feeds into a 20,000 gallon steel reservoir. From here the water feeds to the booster pumps that pressurize a bladder tank. Chlorination is added after the bladder tank for iron removal. The CWS has received notification that the well source must undergo Microparticulate Analysis (MPA) Testing to determine the degree of surface water influence, if any. The Circuit Rider was contacted to provide assistance with this testing. Coordinated testing with Liza Newcomb. Installed testing apparatus. Collected filter and shipped to lab for analysis. Coordinated with Russ Kazmierczak (OHA) regarding the test results. ACTION NEEDED: Complete testing regime as required by the OHA-DWS. It should be noted that the filter element was too dirty for the lab to do a complete analysis. This initial test may need to be repeated.
