Comments:
Facility is on well system. I was not aware of this when inspection was conducted 12/29/2005. I called the facility and spoke with Giovanni. He says they send in water samples on monthly basis but they have not yet done so this month. They received the kit on Monday and plan to send in the sample this weekend. I asked it he could provide a public waterworks permit. I also asked if he could provide results of testing for any recent months. He they were not at hand and he would search for them over the long weekend. I agreed to call him 1/2/06. Next, I called Office of Drinking Water and spoke with Adrienne. She advised that their water supply is classified as Public Non-Community and permits are issued quarterly. There was a positive sample in June, but subsequent samples were okay. She said she had documents she could share with me, but was not sure how to send them as they were electronic. I provided my name, fax number, and e-mail address and her asked to send nitrate and bacti test results for this quarter and also the permit. Received above paperwork. Will review with supervisor next week to see if this is sufficient.
