BACTERIOLOGICAL QUALITY PROCEDURAL FAILURE <br />Consumers wishing more information should contact: <br />at (209) <br />(Manager) <br />Date <br />This notification of the public is being done in compliance with the California <br />Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring Regulations as a means of keeping the public <br />informed. <br />The Pacific Bell Water System failed to take the required routine sample for <br />bacteriological monitoring of its drinking water during July 2000 as specified in <br />Section 64423 (a)(3 & 4) of the California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring <br />Regulations. The bacteriological quality of domestic water is routinely determined by <br />testing for coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are indicators of potential <br />contamination and may originate from human, animal, or soil sources. If the coliform <br />standards are met, the water served can be considered as being bacteriologically <br />safe. If they are not met, drinking the water may not necessarily result in illness, but <br />that possibility exists. Routine sampling is important to periodically check water <br />quality.
