Details: | SUMMARY: Boil Water Notice Issued and Samples Taken DETAILS: Neal Sheppeard called to let me know that they took 10 coliform samples spread through areas most likely affected by the main break and loss of pressure. The City sent out a press release which was submitted to media through flashalert as well initiated a reverse 911 call. Public notice was posted on the web sites for KGW and KATU by 11:15 am. A copy of the notice was received by me via email. I advised Neal to keep the now repaired section of broken main isolated from the system (out of service) until results of the sampling demonstrated an absence of coliform bacteria. ACTION NEEDED: Keep isolated main out of service and boil notice in effect until sample results demonstrate absence of coliform bacteria. |
