| Details: | SUMMARY: Actions taken due to break in line. DETAILS: Roger Prowell called on 12/11/06 and reported that at approximately 2 pm there was a break in one of the City of Bends distribution lines. The break occurred in a line in an area that is known as the Juniper Water System (an older subdivision that is now served by Bends water system). Prowell believes that soil in the area of the break probably entered the distribution system. The area of the break has been isolated (nearest valves closed). Users of the affected area will temporarily receive water from another (safe) portion of the system until repairs are completed. In addition, Prowell is: (1) issuing a boil water notice (via radio and television) to ensure all users are aware of the possibility of contaminated water and appropriate measures to take temporarily (boil water or use bottled water), and (2) proceeding to sample the system for coliforms. I asked Prowell to call me when he has the results of the special coliform samples. ACTION NEEDED: Interpret results of special coliform sampling. | ||
