Inadequately treated or inadequately protected water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, cramps, and associated headaches. |
1e. Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR), Coliform Assessment and Corrective Action Violations [DOUBLE DAGGER] |
Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, waterborne pathogens may be present or that a potential pathway exists through which contamination may enter the drinking water distribution system. We found coliforms indicating the need to look for potential problems in water treatment or distribution. When this occurs, we are required to conduct assessments to identify problems and to correct any problems that were found. [The system shall use the following applicable sentences.] We failed to conduct the required assessment. We failed to correct all identified significant deficiencies that were found during the assessment. |
1f. RTCR, E. coli Assessment and/or Corrective Action Violations [DOUBLE DAGGER] |
E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Human pathogens in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a greater health risk for infants, young children, the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. We violated the standard for E. coli, indicating the need to look for potential problems in water treatment or distribution. When this occurs, we are required to conduct a detailed assessment to identify problems and to correct any problems that are found. [The system shall use the following applicable sentences.] We failed to conduct the required assessment. We failed to correct all identified significant deficiencies that were found during the assessment that we conducted. |
