Actions Taken:
Water Sample - Microbiological
Excellent frequency of sampling in 2007, with 151 samples analyzed and 19 positive for Total Coliform bacteria. This exceeds the maximum 10% of samples testing positive, although some samples were collected at residential taps, and irregular sampling sites. This frequency of sampling will certainly assist in better understanding the water quality status in the system.
Water Sample - Chemical
THM levels continue to be higher than desired due to the high level of organics in the source water.
