Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
N/A
 
Details: SUMMARY: Routine positive total coliform DETAILS: The lab notified us that the routine coliform sample for June from the Boil Station was positive for total coliform. I contacted the system to make sure they know that this triggers the requirement to collect 4 samples from the Boil Station and mark them as “repeat” samples. Katie notified us the sample was not kept on ice during transport to the lab and suspected this to be the cause of the positive. ACTION NEEDED: If all those 4 samples end up fine, then system will have to take 5 samples in July and mark them as “routine”. If any of the 4 is positive for total coliform, then a public notice is required.
