Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
N/A
 
Details: SUMMARY: Positive Coliform Result DETAILS: Two repeat samples collected from the distribution system on 11-29-17 tested E.coli + . I informed Doug Churchill that a boil water notice needs to be issued today and emailed him the Tier 1 template. Doug informed me that the "triggered source" sample from Well #1 was actually a blended sample from Well #1 and #3. Upon hearing this I advised Doug to collect a triggered source sample from each well today. Whether or not well confirmation samples need to be collected will be determined after the results of the actual triggered source samples from each well are known. MISC NOTES: (1) SDWIS shows Well #2 as active and Well #3 as inactive. According to Doug Churchill Well #2 is inactive and Well #3 is active. (2) The longtime "operator" for this system recently passed away. Doug Churchill is now getting acquainted with this water system. ACTION NEEDED: See above.
