RE: Countryside NOV 2023-LV-0029
Regarding Violation NOV 2023-LV-0029: Initial protocol did not include cleaning the UV bulbs at every
inspection. This has been changed, and they are cleaned at each weekly inspection. Additionally, we had a
high flow event on the day prior to this sampling event. This likely contributed to the fecal problem at that
time. Since then, we have increased the recirculation rate to try to compensate for the periodic high flows
which we believe is being caused by I&I in the collection system. New bulbs were installed 1/18/2023.
Please reach out any time if you have any questions or we can offer clarifications. Thank you for your time
and efforts.
