Once the sample results have been received and reviewed by the Division, the wells and treatment
plants may be placed back online. Routine monitoring requirements will be placed on each source.
The frequency of sampling will vary depending on the parameter and will be determined in
accordance with R309-205.
Please contact David Kruse at 385-566-7789 or [e-mail] with any questions or concerns
about the sampling requirements given above.
Disinfection Monitoring Requirements
Once the sources and treatment plants are online, the water system will be required to monitor the
free chlorine residual at the point of entry (POE) to the distribution system for the Bicentennial
Chlorinator + Fluoride (TP021) and the Palmer Fluoridator + Chlorinator (TP015) at least three
times per week. The system must also complete monthly operational reports for each reactivated
chlorinator. The monitoring requirements for the Palmer Fluoridater + Chlorinator (TP015)
explained above will not apply if the system chooses not to reactivate the chlorination processes at
this facility. Please direct any questions regarding disinfection monitoring to Luke Treutel
at [e-mail] or [phone].
Thank you for your efforts maintaining a clean drinking water system.
Sincerely,
Mark Berger
Monitoring and Standards - Implementation Manager
