Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: Routine coliform 8/10 TC+ and E.coli positive. Got call from lab and called Katha and left message to take repeat samples Thursday morning and discussed boil water advisory if any repeat is positive. I recommended lab pull samples to reduce sampling error and verify chlorine residual. Routine sampled showed 1 mg/L chlorine. Spoke with Redmond water Dept. Josh and they will take 6 triggered samples from their wells (2-7). System purchases water from city of Redmond. System has a history of line breaks, sewer breaks and an unknown distribution system with possible cross connections to irrigations system. Neighboring purchasing systems Ni La Sha and Mtn. Brook samples absent. Results will dictate further action.
System has approx 80 connections.
