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 Lower Sac Plaza Water System failed to take the required routine samples for <br />bacteriological monitoring of its drinking water during April and May 2000 as <br />specified in Section 64423 (a)(3 & 4) of the California Domestic Water Quality and <br />Monitoring Regulations. The bacteriological quality of domestic water is routinely <br />determined by testing for coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are indicators of <br />potential contamination and may originate from human, animal, or soil sources. If the <br />coliform standards are met, the water served can be considered as being <br />bacteriologically safe. If they are not met, drinking the water may not necessarily <br />result in illness, but that possibility exists. Routine sampling is important to <br />periodically check water quality.
