IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

Lake Idlewild Utility
Well #2 Tested Positive for Fecal Indicator

Our water system detected fecal indicator E. coli in one our
well(s). As our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we
are doing to correct this situation. On August 10, 2024, we learned that our
assessment sample(s) from Well #2 for the month of August was E.coli
positive.  Well #1 along with the
distribution sample collected on the same date as Well #2 were absent of any
bacteria.  As required by EPA’s Ground
Water Rule, one of our follow up steps is to collect additional samples from this
well to determine the extent of the problem. 

The well that tested positive for Ecoli has been taken offline and
will remain offline until follow-up sampling shows  the well is absent of contamination.

What should I do?

You do not need to boil your water or take other
corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns,
consult your doctor.

Fecal indicators are microbes whose presence indicates that the water
may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can
cause short-term health effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches,
or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young
children, some of the elderly, and people with severely compromised immune
systems.

The symptoms above are not caused only by organisms in drinking water.
If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek
medical advice. People at increased risk should seek advice from their health
care providers about drinking this water.

What is being done?

We will keep you informed of the steps we are taking to protect your
drinking water and will provide information on any steps you should be taking,
until this problem is corrected.

The well that tested positive for Ecoli has been taken offline and
will remain offline until follow-up sampling shows  the well is absent of contamination. A sample
collected from treated water in the distribution system was absent for
coliform. We will keep you informed of the steps we are taking to protect your
drinking water and will provide information on any steps you should be taking,
until this problem is corrected.

It is recommended that any water used for consumption, teeth brushing and ice be brought to a rolling boil for 1 minute prior to using. Once satisfactory bacteriological samples are received a rescission notice will be issued. Once again this is a Precautionary measure due to a pressure loss in the system.
