Monitoring Requirements Not Met by Chester Water Authority
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results
of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. We also must notify you whenever monitoring is not completed as required.
During the third quarter of 2011 (July 1 - September 30), we did not complete the required
monitoring for nitrite A sample was collected on July 13, 2011 to be analyzed for nitrite.
However, a mistake occurred at the certified laboratory doing the analysis and the sample was
discarded without being analyzed. We were not notified that this occurred and did not discover
the error in a timely manner.
A fourth quarter (October 1 - December 31) sample was collected on October 12, 2011. Nitrite
was not detected in it. Nitrite was also not detected in first and second quarter samples
collected on January 5, 2011 and April 13, 2011, as well as a makeup sample collected
November 16, 2011.
There is neither reason for concern nor any action that you need to take. This notice is
simply to inform you that we did not complete all the monitoring required of us for the
third quarter of 2011.
