On May 5, <br />2011 we took five (5) samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria. Five (5) of these samples showed the <br />presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than one sample per month may show the <br />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 area 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. Although the exact cause of the contamination is not known, it may have been caused by: <br />For more information, please contact <br />of the French Camp Golf Course <br />Water System at <<phone #. <br />Please share this information with all otherpeople who drink this water, especially those who may not have received <br />this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
