Dear Water Superintendent,      

Enclosed is an Emergency Administrative Order (“Order”) issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)under section l431 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (“Act”), 42 U.S.C. § 300i.

AT ANY TIME the CITY,VILLAGE, or TOWN USA public water supply system tested positive for E. coli coliform. Based on these sampling results, the contaminant present in the water system may pose an imminent and substantial health endangerment to persons served by the system.

Pursuant to its authority set forth at section § l431 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300i, EPA is authorized to take whatever actions necessary to protect human health. Notwithstanding the initial efforts taken by State and local officials, this Order and the requirements set forth herein are necessary to ensure adequate protection of public health based on EPA's primary enforcement responsibility for the Safe Drinking Water Act in your state.

The enclosed Order sets forth the compliance actions that the ANY CITY,VILLAGE, or TOWN USA Board of Public Utilities (“Public Utilities”) must take to ensure that the people served by the water supply are provided with safe drinking water. The Order includes, and incorporates by reference, compliance with the State boil order dated AT ANY TIME. Additionally, the Order requires, in part, that the system provide continuous disinfection until further notice by EPA, take a minimum of two microscopic particulate analysis samples, ensure that the disinfection equipment is operational and adequate to treat capacity, and prepare a report detailing the known or suspected cause of the contamination and providing a plan for prevention.

 Public Utilities must take the required actions in accordance with the time frames specified. The penalties for failing to comply are set forth in the Order.

 Sincerely,

 THE EPA
