LETTER FROM SEAN O'BRIEN, BARNSTABLE COUNTY, RE: LEAD WATER TEST RESULTS. FM: we, had a meeting this after- noon with DeMoura, Murphy, Martini, Sean and myself to discuss this situation. DeMoura has already implemented a flushing program at the Middle School and at that portion of the Tom Hall used as a school. We recommended five minute flushing to hopefully reduce the copper content as well as the load. Murphy will see to it that 'the water bubbler and the break-roan faucet is flushed. We are hoping the new school plumbing will have non- lead solder. As soon as sufficient plumg is installed to accon.1ate five different sampling locations, De Moura will contact this office and we will set up a sampling date with the County. Murphy wants the BOH's opinion as to how often we should retest. It should Ix, noted that the old school came out better than the Middle School, which indicates that the lead solder had probably flushed out.
