“A monthly water sample collected July 9 following the NM Drinking Water Bureau protocols showed test evidence of coliform contamination. The sample location was near the La Junta Guest Ranch where the Water District has been doing fire hydrant flushing. After the contamination was reported to the Drinking Water Bureau, Sun Valley System Operator quickly increased chlorination in the system storage tanks and at a nearby well. Within the week, the entire system chlorination was examined and balanced, again by the Sun Valley staff. A larger follow up sample drawn by an independent operator on July 23 was tested by the local lab, which found no further contamination in the Sun Valley System. The required Environment Department posting may be found in the window of the Bonito Fire Station.”
Thanks.
