On <br /> December 28th and 30th, 2010 we took nine (9) samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria. Four(4) of <br /> these samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than one sample per <br /> month may show the presence of coliform bacteria. <br /> What Should You Do? <br /> You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health <br /> concerns, consult your doctor. <br /> People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These <br /> people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to <br /> lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800)426-4791. <br /> What Does This Mean? <br /> This is not an emergency. If it had been,you would have been notified immediately. Coliform bacteria are generally <br /> not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an <br /> indicator that other,potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed <br /> and this was a warning of potential problems. <br /> Usually,coliform are a sign that there could be a problem with our treatment or distribution system(pipes). Whenever <br /> we detect coliform bacteria in any sample,we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as <br /> fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. <<results of follow-up, e.g. We did not find any of these bacteria in our <br /> subsequent testing, and further testing shows that this problem has been resolved>>. <br /> What Happened? What Was Done? <br /> We inspected the well, storage tanks and water lines, which revealed <br /> Samples (give quantity) collected on date show the water to be free of coliform <br /> bacteria.
