Details: | SUMMARY: DBP Issues DETAILS: The Weiss Estates Water System is a community surface water system which serves 27 people through 21 connections. The system is located near Bandon in Coos County. The source water is Fahy’s Lake. The raw water is treated by a Seccua membrane water treatment plant. The plant was constructed in 2011The water system has been in contact with the Circuit Rider due to persistent disinfection byproduct (DBP) issues. It had been determined by Jay Macpherson that the next logical step to deal with the high DBP levels is to perform a tracer study. Based on the configuration of the contact vessels, it is apparent that the contact time is sufficient for disinfection. The Circuit Rider had been working with Jim Lea on the contact tracer testing. Corrine Clifton is now the person with the water system who is dealing with day-to-day issues. In addition to the DBP problems, the water system has been experiencing issues with the chemical feed pump. Visited the water system to discuss operations, DBPs, chemical feed pump operations and contact tracer testing with Corrine Clifton. Reviewed communications and provided input to OHA staff regarding DBPs and other operational issues. ACTION NEEDED: Coordinate with water system to determine the location for new chlorine injection. Complete tracer study methodology and perform testing. Continue to assist with DBP formation issues. |
