To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is in response to the NOV regarding the daily limit exceedance of Coliform, Fecal
reported on the 25th day of August 2020. Remedial actions were taken immediately by the
designated ORC, Randall Jarrell, also we have included the System Engineer to assess the
problem, the UV Lighting has a recommendation to be replaced each year, the bulbs were
replaced in March, as a precaution we replaced the bulbs again August 28, 2020 Also we
noticed high water flow after heavy rains due to roof gutters draining the water directly into the
area around the water treatment system. An additional water runoff drain system was installed
to reroute the water from the gutters. Other drain systems are being designed to keep water
runoff from flowing towards the water treatment system. We are following all
recommendations of -the Engineer. We are still moving forward to assure that this problem is
eliminated on a permanent basis. We are also evaluating system upgrades to ensure problems
do not arise in the future.
If there are any questioif more ' rmation is required, please contact Thomas Reams,
ESH Coordinator. (91 -6 9 omas.ream s sysnerialt►r (-nm
