MINUTES May 12 , 1994 4 BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> Mr. Evans relayed, "I had a discussion with Ben Aldridge <br /> this morning who gave these results over the phone. " <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "I was under the impression water <br /> test results were reported by the County. " <br /> Mr. Evans stated, "In my opinion, because of the wide <br /> range in the results that it was very difficult to make some <br /> kind of conclusion. " "Normally the iron is in the water it <br /> is not in the pipes. " <br /> Mr. Doherty commented, "When Mr. Haney takes the samples <br /> as required he is taking them at the well head. " <br /> Mr. Evans commented, "Presumably the low counts, less <br /> than .1 is what the well is producing. " "I 'do not know why <br /> all of a sudden the water gains more iron. " <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "I am convinced that there is a <br /> problem. " "It does not appear to be the water coming out of <br /> the well, it must be determined whether it is in the distri- <br /> bution lines or whether it's the plumbing going into the <br /> trailers. " <br /> Mr. McQuaid stated, "Once the written results are re- <br /> ceived from the County we will forward a letter along with <br /> that to D.E.P. stating we want prompt attention to this prob- <br /> lem." <br /> Mr. Doherty questioned whether the Board has received <br /> any kind of response from Mr. Haney. <br /> Mr. McQuaid responded, "No. " <br /> Mr. Doherty stated, "Pending the receipt of the reports <br /> from the lab I feel the results are significant enough to de- <br /> termine this a nuisance, based on secondary contaminants as <br /> outlined in the Federal Safe Water Drinking Regulations. " <br /> "Based on that determination I would recommend this Board <br /> forward a notice to the State that we would like to see ex- <br /> tremely prompt attention to this matter. " "In addition to <br /> that I would recommend we forward a letter to Mr. Haney re- <br /> laying our findings and also requiring him to have an engi- <br /> neer submit an evaluation of the water distribution system <br /> for the purpose of this Board to consider the engineer's rec- <br /> ommendations for repair or to consider accelerating the time- <br /> table requirements for connection to public water." <br /> Mr. Ball motioned to forward the letters via certified <br /> mail as stated by Mr. Doherty, Mr. Cram seconded, all agreed. <br /> I <br />
