Details: | SUMMARY: Copper AL Exceedence DETAILS: The Church operates a small school with approximately 100 students and 10 facility members. Water is supplied to the school from an onsite well. Water is chlorinated and has a pH adjusted with soda ash, prior to storage in a 2,300 gallon tank. The water system has had a historical lead level exceeding the AL. This is the purpose of the soda ash. In the most recent testing, the copper level exceeds the AL. HBH was contacted by the water system for assistance in reducing the copper level to below the action level. I visited the site to meet with system operator and review existing corrosion control system and operation. Using water quality data and the EPA’s “Revised Guidance Manual for Selection of Lead and Copper Control Strategies,” developed preliminary determination of proper corrective action. ACTION NEEDED: Complete recommendations report and provide additional guidance for water system as needed. |
