Phil verified that notice was pre-emptive and posted in anticipation of losing water pressure as the plant pump went down on 8/2 in the am. Pump replaced on 8/2 in pm, and pressure never dropped below 20 psi in system. Additionally, Phil verified that CTs were met at all times beginning went pump went down on 8/2. The lowest chlorine residual on 8/2 based on several grab samples taken at the plant was 0.8 mg/l, and CT achieved was around 70, with a CT required for 1-log giardia inactivation of around 40. Furthermore, residuals in the system taken at 3 points were 1 ppm today (8/3).
