In response to NOV -2023-MV-0037 issued to the Town of Siler City, in reference to Chloride sample not being
sampled for the month of January. This sample was not taken as it was a quarterly sample and was switched
to a monthly sample as of November per our new permit that went into effect in November. It was an
oversight that has since been corrected.
Sincerely,
Town of Siler City

future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
