1105707 05/01/2022 OEV Total Coliform Not to exceed a specific limit more than once within any 30-day period. limit is 23 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 49 MPN/100 mL at REC-003. Water Recycling Operations determined the LAFE_G final effluent sampling tap to be the source of the elevated total coliforms. This was determined through the sampling and data results process that showed a decrease in the coliform results once the tap was cleaned and disinfected. IRWD staff does not believe that the final effluent posed any risk to public health or the environment. As a precaution, Water Recycling Operations halted and diverted flows until Total Coliform sample confirmations were available indicating the disinfection was effective at targeting the source. As a corrective action, Water Recycling Operations has outlined procedures to expedite the course of action for presumptive results and to better identify if the sample tap as the source of high values. These procedures include Water Recycling Operations staff performing sample tap cleaning and coordinate follow-up sampling should there be a need to confirm elevated Total Coliform results within the first 24-hour window after an elevated presumptive result is received.

1104503 04/30/2022 OEV Total Coliform Not to exceed a specific limit more than once within any 30-day period. limit is 23 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 170 MPN/100 mL at REC-003.

1067557 10/07/2019 OEV Total Coliform 7-Day Median limit is 2.2 MPN/100 mL and reported value was 7.8 MPN/100 mL at REC-003. Based on the available evidence, IRWD staff does not believe that the final effluent posed any risk to the public health or the environment during this event. Staff did a series of problem-solving activities to ascertain the source of the problem, starting with disinfection of the sample device. This initial disinfection brought the numbers down but did not get numbers back to normal. At the time of local disinfection, the line was also opened to scour the back line. The scouring of the line is when operations detected debris in the line and removed it. Although the local disinfection reduced the T. Coliform numbers, the sample was still a little turbid and the line was diverted, and a full disinfection of the system was performed. This full disinfection brought the T. Coliform numbers and turbity back to normal and ensured that any remaining contamination of the system was treated. The debris was found during the scouring after local disinfection and prior to full disinfection of the line and we believe the debris to be the source of the high numbers. The elevated Total Coliform counts were associated with the contamination of the final effluent line. Of particular note, the e.coli counts remained undetected, which would have been a "sewage signal" if detected coincidentally with the Total Coliform. Additionally, the final effluent maintained a normal chlorine residual with low turbidity, two very important factors for recycled water. Finally, Water Recycling Operations has updated its Standard Operating Procedure to address occurrences of high presumptive Total Coliform counts. Violation U eSMR
