Although this is not an emergency, as our <br /> customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we are doing to correct <br /> this situation . <br /> We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants . On September 10, 2013, <br /> coliform bacteria was detected in the drinking water system . <br /> What should I do? <br /> • You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. <br /> • This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Total coliform <br /> bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the <br /> environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. <br /> Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. <br /> • Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the treatment or distribution system <br /> (pipes) . Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other <br /> bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present_ We did not find any of <br /> these bacteria in our subsequent testing. If we had, we would have notified you immediately. <br /> However, we are still finding coliforms in the drinking water. <br /> • People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased <br /> risk. These people should seek advice about out drinkingwater from their health <br /> care providers. General <br /> guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from U . S. EPA's Safe <br /> Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 4264791 . <br /> • If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your <br /> doctor. <br /> What happened? What is being done? <br /> We are currently in the process of chlorinating and flushing the water system . We will inform you when our <br /> sampling shows that no coliform bacteria are present. We anticipate resolving the problem within one to two <br /> weeks. <br /> For more information, please contact Jonathan Cook at (209) 579-4977, or Dave Arana at (209) 234-1544. <br /> Secondary Notification Requirements <br /> Upon receipt of notification from a person operating a public water system, the following notification must be <br /> given within 10 days [Health and Safety Code Section 116450(g)]: Must notify employees of businesses <br /> located on the property. <br /> This notice is being sent to you by "French Camp Golf & RV".
