Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
N/A
 
Details: SUMMARY: Routine +TC DETAILS: Rich notified OHA-DWS today that a routine sample collected Friday 9/9/16 from SS#19 came back positive for total coliform (absent for E. coli). Three repeats (upstream, downstream, original site) will be collected today. No wene of the wells are active so triggered source water samples are not required, however since water is obtained from Tualatin it would need to do a triggered source sample if the well was running at the time. He did not indicate a possible cause for the positive. ACTION NEEDED: Will wait for results of repeat samples (available Tuesday 9/13) and respond accordingly. UPDATE: Rich notified DWS 9/13/16 that all repeats were absent and that Sherwood no longer receives water from Tualatin so a triggered source sample there is not required.
