Details: SUMMARY: October LT2 E. coli samples DETAILS: Karen Kelley emailed on 10/15/15 that the E. coli samples collected from each raw water source on October 7 were shipped to Eurofins Lab but arrived broken. The other LT2 samples collected at the same time (for Crypto and Giardia) arrived fine and were tested. A second set of E. coli samples were shipped to the lab on Oct 12 but arrived out of temperature range. A third set of E. coli samples were delivered by hand to Analytical Lab in Eugene on Oct 15. The water system requested that DWS accept those E. coli samples although outside of the original date range. ACTION NEEDED: Send request to DMCE to change their October E. coli sampling date for both sources from 10/7/15 to 10/15/15 due to broken bottles and temperature exceedances.
