Effluent discharge flows increased due to snow melting and other situations in the system. Upon knowing the chlorine residuals on this day of sampling, we observed a low chlorine residual at EFF outfall. Upon being alerted we increased our chlorine residuals, which in turn should have had enough time for chlorine contact to get us a good kill on E-Coli. Test #1 sample date 3-8-22 Analysis time 17:40 500 cfu TRC value .51 Test #2 sample date 3-15-22 Analysis time 16:10 470 cfu TRC value 1.03 Test #3 sample date 3-24-22 Analysis time 17:45 <10 cfu TRC value .92
