Details: SUMMARY: Routine +TC DETAILS: Lacey reported that a routine sample collected Thursday 6/8/17 from 4045 Mandy Ave SE came back positive for total coliform (absent E. coli). Chlorine residual at the time was 0.75 ppm. Three repeats will be collected today (upstream, downstream, and the original site). The wells were not running at the time so no triggered source water samples are needed. There was no suspected cause for the positive. ACTION NEEDED: Will wait for results of repeat samples and respond accordingly. UPDATE: Lacey reported Monday 6/12/17 that all repeats were negative. No further action required.
