Details: | SUMMARY: SOURCE INVESTIGATION - WELLS 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. A potential option for elimination of the DBP issue would be to change from the existing surface water intake and treatment system to a well source. Investigated potential for a well source for the CWS. Reviewed area well logs and water rights. Made preliminary recommendation to water system that a well may be a viable option. 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. |
