Conduct Environmental and Public Health Monitoring
Monitoring activities in the clearance sampling and analysis plan include:
  • Analyzing samples following remediation/cleanup for continued clearance, including samples from:
    • Storage, treatment, and distribution infrastructure
    • Areas where flow of water is slowed due to hydrological conditions (e.g., point-of-use filters)
  • Analyzing additional drinking water samples from those areas of the distribution system that continue to experience low pressure

Our Town Utility developed a clearance sampling and analysis plan concurrently with their decontamination strategy. The plan outlines additional testing to confirm and monitor the effectiveness of Our Town Utility's decontamination strategy.

Our Town's laboratory is now operational and performing routine analyses for their utility. However, due to the additional sample load, Our Town Utility continues to utilize services from two additional laboratories via the Water Laboratory Alliance. Our Town and county public health officials, as well as the state primacy agency, work with Our Town Utility to conduct environmental and public health monitoring to confirm that decontamination activities and remediation were effective and the water continues to be safe for all uses.
