Details: SUMMARY: Alert follow-up on a TC+ routine for November. DETAILS: Received a call from the operator, his monthly routine was TC+. Greg believes that he has some growth on the walls of the reservoir that is throwing off the sample. Considering the time of the year and the relatively high temperatures and the low demand for water it is very possible. Repeats and source taken on 11-6-14 ACTION NEEDED: If and of the repeat samples come back positive the operator plans on batching the tank and turning on the chlorinator for a few days until there is a good residual in the distribution and then do some extensive flushing. He would then turn off the chlorinator and wait until the chlorine residual is zero and then resample---Operator knows to do a public notice if any of the repeats come back positive.
