Details: SUMMARY: TC/EC Positive Alert Response DETAILS: Received call from lab of TC/EC positive result of a routine sample collected on 10/5/16. Scott called. Reviewed follow-up sample requirements of three repeat samples from the distribution system and triggered source samples from each of the three wells. Discussed the fact that if any of the follow-up samples test positive, a boil order would likely be issued. Scott said they had a couple high wind events in town that created dust storms, and speculated whether some bacteria could have entered the system through the vent screening on the reservoir. ACTION NEEDED: System to collect repeat and source samples. Further action will be based on those results.
