Details: | SUMMARY: Arsenic Removal Assistance & Distribution Leaking Problems DETAILS: System operates 3 wells, 1 primary and two backup wells. The primary well feeds two pressure tanks. The larger of the two tanks is located on the far side of the system and is back fed through the system. The existing distribution system is in poor condition with many leaks. Mr Brown contacted HBH for general assistance with leak detection and funding assistance. With the new MCL set by the EPA on arsenic, Saginaw is no longer meeting this requirements. During the last round of testing, the arsenic level was found to be 0.02mgl, which is beyond the limit of 0.010 mgl. Mr Brown requested help with the process of treating arsenic. Based on preliminary chemical data, reviewed potential arsenic removal scenarios. ACTION NEEDED: Assist water system in preliminary arsenic removal technology selection when chemical testing is completed. Provide other assistance as requested. |
