SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

|
Water is produced by three wells located within the Martin Creek development. Two of the wells are located west of the highway, while the newest well is located east toward the Columbia River. Activities are prohibited within 100' of the well to protect against possible contamination. The water is pumped from the wells to a concrete storage reservoir before being delivered to the system.

water testing
|
|
Alpine Environmental collects one sample for coliform bacteria each month. This sample is rotated between six collection sites within the system. An annual test for nitrate is collected from each source. Every three years or more, tests for metals and minerals, petroleum products, and radioactive particles are collected. Results of the most recent testing are summarized in the Consumer Confidence Report.
