Details: | SUMMARY: Unresolved positive coliform DETAILS: Mick called to say the 3 special samples he took 11/30/09 after disinfecting the east well for the second time were all positive. He said there is a valve next to the well that appears to be leaking. He can see water in the valve access hole which is very close to the well. I agreed that along with a bad casing seal, could be contributing to the problem. I told Mick we should be looking at some other options for correcting the problem especially since the well is 100 feet from a septic drain field. I called Travis and advised him against pursuing chlorination as a solution for the problem because the state is not likely to approve chlorination of a well that is close to a drain field. We discussed other options like connecting the motel and house to the west well and either abandoning the east well or using it for irrigation only or connecting the motel to the west well and putting UV treatment on the east well for the house. Travis said that he plans to take a look at the situation and come up with a plan. He will let me know what he decides. ACTION NEEDED: Plan for corrective action |
