Details: | SUMMARY: Total Coliform positive-- sample date 8/20/2015. DETAILS: Routine sample for Total Coliform resulted in positive . Sample site was well#2 . Went over how to elimenate coliforms from well. The owner informed me that well#2 is a shallow back-up well that is only used if the firm exceeds >5000 gallons. Well#2 is primarily used only for irrigation purposes only. The last sample total coliform positive was on Dec 09, 2014 and repeat samples nor temporary routines samples thefollowing month were not required. ACTION NEEDED: Will consult with Drinking water program. Emails and phone calls were sent to Bill Goss and Amy Word to verify what will be required as this is a back-up well. According to the regulations, when a routine sample is total coliform -positive, a set of repeat samples must be collected within 24 hours of being notified of the positive results by the certified laboratory . Systems which collect one routine sample/month or less must collect at least four repeat samples for each total coliform-positive sample found. The system must collect at least one repeat sample from the sampling tapwhere the original total coliform-positive sample was taken (triggered source), and atleast one repeat sample at a tap within five service connections upstream and at least one repeat sample at a tap within five service connections downstream of the original sampling site. The other sample can be taken anywhere in distribution. All repeat samples must be collected on the same day. Additionally, the firm must collect five routine samples the month following the routine present sample regardless of whether an MCL violation occurred or if repeat sampling was absent. The 5 temporary routines will need to be 4 samples in distribution and one source sample required in the following month . | ||
