Assistance Type: WATER QUALITY ALERT RESPONSE
Reasons: Coliform
 
Details: 12.17.21-Kyle contacted DWS information line to inquire about additional steps needed to address the recent TC positive test result from the source (AS) sample collected at well No. 9. I informed Kyle that for ground water systems, no immediate action is required when an AS sample is total coliform positive only (E. Coli absent). Future total coliform positive source samples will be tracked, and if there is a pattern or series, DWS will consider increasing the AS sampling to monthly. Kyle believes the TC positive was possibly caused by human error during sample collection. Well No. 9 is a seasonal source.
