Mayfair Area Residents - Pump Station Chlorination

[aha...@lacinc.org]

Recent water tests have shown the presence of total coliform bacteria at the Pump House on Mayfair Way.  Total coliform bacteria, a naturally present bacteria in the environment, is not harmful and is used as an indicator organism for State and Federal testing. 

We will begin the temporary process of chlorinating our water system at low levels over the next week.

During this time, Members may notice a slight odor of chlorine, you may also notice trace of amounts of Iron and Manganese, this is a result of those minerals being oxidized by the chlorine.  Please note, the water is, and will continue to be, safe to drink.  

Below is an informational sheet with regard to Total Coliform Bacteria.
