The chlorine ratio was increased, and at the time of resampling the residual results were 0.58 mg/L. The E.Coli resampling results were 48.1 cfu/ml, which is compliant with our discharge permit.

The chlorine residual at the time of E.coli sampling was lower than expected. Low flows overnight on July 21st caused the chlorine residual to drop to a 0.27 mg/L. The Brattleboro wastewater plant aims for a 0.50 mg/L residual. The combination of a low chlorine residual with high flows due to the heavy precipitation resulted in 123.4 cfu/ml.
