Failure to conduct timely monitoring and/or report results of such monitoring to the State Department of Public Health Drinking Water Section constitutes a violation of the RCSA. As your public water supplier,we must formally notify customers of all monitoring violations, or face additional RCSA violations. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example,people in apartments,nursing homes,schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. 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 our drinking water meets health standards. We did not monitor or did not complete all of the monitoring for the requirement(s) listed below and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time.

Traduscalo o hable con alguien que to entienda bien. Is my water safe? Last year, as in years past,your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)and state drinking water health standards. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,persons who have undergone organ transplants,people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.EPA/Centers for Disease Control(CDC)guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). Where does my water come from? The system obtains water from one (1)deep bedrock well. Water obtained from bedrock has been filtered by the soil above it. Source water assessment and its availability A water assessment was recently completed by the Department of Public Health,Drinking Water Division. The updated assessment report can be found on the Department of Public Health's website: http://dph.state.ct.usBRS/Water/Source Protection/Assesssments/Assessments.htm. Why are there contaminants in my drinking water? Drinking water,including bottled water,may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's(EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline(800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water(both tap water and bottled water)include rivers,lakes, streams,ponds,reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground,it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases,radioactive material,and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria,that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations,and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,industrial,or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,mining,or farming;pesticides and herbicides,which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture,urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,urban stormwater runoff,and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants,which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA Page 2of3 prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration(FDA)regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. How can I get involved? No customer participation meetings on the water system are scheduled. Information on issues related to the water system may be obtained by contacting Michelle Richard at 860-644-0425. General information on the health effects of drinking water may be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe drinking water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Water Quality Data Table The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted,the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.

Based on this visit coupled with the review of submittals you made on.8/4/2005 and 12/27/2005, we have concluded, as noted in the attached assessment from Mr. Cooley,that compliance was achieved with most of the regulatory requirements and you have instituted the following additions and changes in the interest of ensuring safe and palatable drinking water to all your customers: 1)Hired a consultant to review the feasibility of acquiring the required sanitary easements in the recharge area of well#1, and expects this review to be completed by July 1, 2006. 2) Installed analyzers and chart recorders for the continuous monitoring of chlorine residual and pH at the well house. 3)Revised the water sampling plan based on comments made by this Department,and agreed to use Sampling Point#AHWO07(i.e. 393 Benedict Drive) for compliance purposes. 4) Modified the distribution system flushing program to maximize its performance, and initiated the first comprehensive flush in the fourth quarter of 2005. 5)Completed a system wide leak survey, which has noted of no detectable leaks in the distribution network. 6)Agreed to look into the formalization of the interconnection with the Manchester Water Department. We are very encouraged by the efforts you have made so far to comply with the regulations and to assure the aesthetic and safety of the drinking water supply. I will meet with you and your operator in early May to assess the success of these efforts and set the necessary measures that are to be considered. Please do not hesitate to call me if issues arise before our contemplated meeting. Sincerely, Michael Hage, PE Section Supervisor Drinking Water Section cc: Dr. Gerald L.

If conditions warrant, greater distance shall be required. Sanitary conditions in the area within the radial distance required shall be under control of the well owner by ownership,easement, or other arrangement approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Health. If a sewer is constructed of extra heavy cast iron pipe with leaded joints or equal approved type of tight joint, a minimum separating distance of one hundred(100) feet shall be maintained. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. is working with a consultant to review the separation distances and the sanitary conditions within the required 200 foot radial distance around Well#1. Upon completion of the review,the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. will develop and execute the necessary easements to gain sanitary control of the 200 foot radial distance around the source of supply. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has achieved compliance with the following regulatory violations cited within the aforementioned sanitary survey report: 1) RCSA Section 19-13-B1020)(2)(D): A system shall install and have operational treatment consisting of disinfection and filtration in accordance with the RCSA Section 19-13-B1020)(2)within eighteen(18) months following the Department's determination that treatment is required for a groundwater source. Such determination shall be made if that groundwater source is at risk of contamination from surface water. In making this determination,the department shall be guided by its document entitled "Determination Of Groundwater Under The Direct Influence of Surface Water." As an interim requirement until such treatment is operational,turbidity shall not exceed a monthly average of one(1) NTU or a two(2)consecutive day average of five(5)NTUS as monitored pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B102(e)(7)(H)and the system supplied by this source shall be free of any waterborne disease outbreak. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has submitted a drilling record from the Stephen B. Church Company that indicates that there is a significant clay layer in the area of Well#1 that acts as a confining layer for the source f su°Nly. The Stephen B. Church Company has confirmed this conclusion. Telephone Device for the Deaf: (860)509-7191 1 410 Capitol Avenue-MS# P.O.Box 340308 Hartford,CT 06134 Affirmative Action/An Equal Opportunity Employer Therefore, with the confirmed presence of a confining layer, a Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water(GWUDI)study will not be required for Well#1 at this time. 2) RCSA Section 19-13-B102(e)(7)(M): Where the water is chlorinated,at least daily tests shall be made for residual chlorine. A system that uses a groundwater source under the direct influence of surface water, and that does not provide and operate treatment pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B1020)(2),shall disinfect in accordance with the RCSA Section 19-13-BI020)(3)(B). When groundwater source not under the direct influence of surface water is chlorinated, a free chlorine residual of at least 0.2 mg/L after ten (10)minutes contact,or the equivalent thereof, shall be used. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has installed a chlorine residual analyzer and chart recorder within the Avery Heights Pumphouse to monitor chlorine residual at the entry point to the distribution system. 3) RCSA Section 19-13-BI02(e)(7)(N): pH and phosphate monitoring: Where the pH value is artificially adjusted, tests for pH value shall be made of the treated water daily, or as required by the department. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has installed a pH analyzer and chart recorder within the Avery Heights Pumphouse to monitor pH levels at the entry point to the distribution system. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has also addressed the following Conclusions and Recommendations that were presented within the sanitary survey report: 1) The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has submitted a revised Sampling Site Plan per the instructions and requirements provided by this office. The revised Sampling Site Plan has been approved. The revised Sampling Site Plan complies with the sampling point requirements within the RCSA Section 19-13-13102. 2) The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has submitted a revised flushing program that has been fully implemented. The initial flush under the revised plan occurred in the fourth quarter of the 2005 calendar year. A second flush is planned for the second quarter of the 2006 calendar year. The frequency of future flushes shall be evaluated upon review of the results of the first two flushing initiatives. The revised flushing program complies with the RCSA Section 19-13-B102(f)(6). 3) The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. has completed two separate leak detection surveys on the distribution system. The results conclude that the distribution system is tight and without any detectable leaks. These surveys comply with the RCSA Section i9-13-B102(s). 4) The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. continues to utilize the interconnection with the Manchester Water Department as an emergency source of supply to comply with the RCSA Section 19-13-13102(o). The recommendation for the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. to formalize the interconnection with the Manchester Water Department both physically with a metered valve pit and legally with a formal agreement between the two public water systems remains. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. should be hereby required to concentrate compliance water quality monitoring for total coliforms and physical parameters to Sampling Point ID: AHWO07—393 Benedict Drive until further notice. 2 • Fax:8605097359 Feb 20 2006 20:39 P.02 .� STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC l<C HEALTH January 5, 2006 Mr. Robert Deptula South Windsor Health Department 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM: Avery Heights Water Assn Inc CLASSIFICATION: Community TOWN: South Windsor PWSID: CT1320011 RE: DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WATER QUALITY SAMPLE RESULTS Dear Mn Deptula: Please see the enclosed laboratory reports regarding the distribution system water samples collected October 4, 2005 at the subject public water system.

To do so, all members have to come onto agreement&initiate the necessary improvement works. I believe that's all of what I covered during this call Thanks, MH 'zV !J-4 by 2/21/2006 Cheri Nauges 375 Benedict Drive South Windsor, CT_ 0674 860-648-1296 March 3,2006 Matthew B. Galligan,Town Manager South Windsor Town Hall 1540 Sullivan Ave. South Windsor,CT 06074 Dear Mr.Galligan: I am writing to you to in concern of the problem that I am told you were recently made aware of by two neighbors of mine Tony and Tammy Moskitis who are home owners who are on the Avery Heights Water Association well. I am a home owner living on Benedict Drive and I am also on the same well system with Avery Heights. As I am sure you are aware there has been an on-going serious problem for over a year now with high concentrations of sediment in our water causing us to get brown muddy water coming out of our taps. I recently placed a filter on the water coming into my home from the well and have had to replace the filter twice in less than two weeks. The gentleman that installed it said he had never seen such a severe sediment problem and that much sediment in the water supply. He said he thinks the only way there could be that much sediment in the water is that is coming from the well itself. There have been mild problems with the brown water since I bought the house 7 years ago about the same I was told a new pump for the well was purchased. The problem seems to have gotten progressively worse and I was told at least 25 other homes have had a severe problem with sediment and other homes that never had problems before are now experiencing a problem so it appears to be getting worse and spreading to the entire system it also appears the homes closest to the pump house are having the most trouble. The Association has done nothing to correct these problems and has not been keeping us informed of the problems and costs involved in correcting the problems. As a homeowner I want a clean water supply and I would like to know what my options are as I no longer wish to receive water that is contaminated with sediment. Sediment is a health hazard at this level and it has already caused myself and my children to suffer from rashes and other skin conditions created by the severity of the sediment and the hardness of the water. I am asking the town and the state to take action in this matter and I would like an alternate water supply to be offered to the residents of Avery Heights as I no longer feel this water is safe for my children to even bathe. It is my understanding there is a meeting scheduled on this matter for Monday,March 6s`. However I will be unable to attend because I have to work please let me know what options are available to me and the other residents who are fett up with paying for a dirty water supply. Sincerely, Cheri Nauges CC.

Page 1 of 7 Place a Free Classified Ad Would you drink this water? Avery Heights residents bring brown water to council By JESSICA CIPARELLI Staff Writer SOUTH WINDSOR—Most of us take for granted the fact that when we turn on our kitchen faucets or draw water for a load of laundry, the water is going to be clear and clean. For some residents living off of Avery Street in South Windsor,this is not a reality. Their reality is brown murky water, and after more than a year of living with the brown mess, they brought their concerns to the South Windsor Town Council. Tony and Tammy Moskites, who live on Highview Road off Avery Street, share a community well with 215 households. Last June, the couple sent out a survey, asking other homeowners if they, too, were experiencing brown,murky water. They received 86 responses; 31 of those responses reported brown water. "It's not the well. The state health department said the water from the well is healthy. They felt it was the distribution system,"Tammy Moskites told the town council,two bottles of the brown water sitting in front of her as evidence. The Moskiteses noted that the brown water problem does not affect every home in the d6elopment, which is part of the Avery Heights Water Association. Of course,there are two sides to every story, and AHWA president Michele Richard maintains that the water is within state regulations. "The health department wouldn't let us use our water if it wasn't within state regulations," Richard said. "We've done every single test we can do—we've tested their houses, their pipes— every test possible,"Richard said. "The water is perfectly potable and drinkable. Everything is within state requirements." Richard said she too, has brown water, sporadically—"here and there,"she said. "It's not a big group, it's a certain area." Richard said it appears that more people living near the pump house, which is located on Benedict Drive, experience the brown water. She said she doesn't know why the water is brown. "If I knew why, I would fix it," Richard said. "There is nothing wrong with our water. I can't tell those people enough—we've tested their houses." Yes, the water has been tested, the Moskiteses said,but the tests are done at the starring point, the well, and the ending point,the houses. And, only the cold water has been tested, and it's only tested when it's clear, not brown. "We had a private test taken,"Tammy said. "We're the only ones who have tested the brown water." The Moskiteses maintain that the problem lies within the old pipes that distribute the water to each of the homes. At the Jan. 23, 2006 assocation meeting,it—was suggested that the pipes be http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/SWIND S OR/ArtWin.asp?Ski... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Would you drink this water? Page 2 of 7 replaced. The water association's board said it would cost approximately$2.5 million to have the 8-miles of piping replaced. "The pipes are 55 years old," said Tony. "We were originally told they were good for 25 years —now we're being told they are good for 75 years." The Moskiteses had their bathroom sink's water sampled by Allied Home Inspection of South Windsor, and tested in April 2005 by Northwest Environmental Water Labs, Inc., of Oakville, Conn. The test concluded that the level of the metal manganese was 0.51, over the limit of.05, and the turbidity, which is the amount of suspended material in the water, was 22.6, when the limit is between 0 and 5. The independent results do not meet the U.S. Public Health recommendations,however they do fall within state requirements, as Richard said it did. Manganese at levels greater than .05 mg/L, according to the independent test, "may produce brownish black stains in laundry and on fixtures and impart an objectionable odor and taste. It is usually found along with iron in soil with a high mineral content. Oxidation followed by a greensand filter is the common method of manganese removal,"the report states. "All the parameters that are required to be tested for,meet state and federal requirements," said Michael Hage, section supervisor with the drinking water section of the state Department of Public Health. "We have,as a result from the complaints from some residents, had samples analyzed at the state lab."Those samples,he said, came back satisfactory. "They are not in violation of the state codes,they are not in violation of federal codes,"Hage said. Water is tested for more than 200 parameters, said Hage,but are more frequently tested for coliform, turbidity, pH,nitrates, and once a year,required to be tested for organic chemicals and depending on the size of the system, in this case, once every three years, tested for inorganic chemicals [metals]. "It's not what's entering the system that is discolored," said Hage,rather, it's the pipes themselves. "The sediment is settling at the bottom of the pipes,"he said. Hage says the pipes are corroding inside. He said what is in the brown water is iron, manganese and other metals, from the corroding pipes. Hage said the state has worked with the association to set up an action plan to help alleviate the problem,but it takes time. "Are they in the clear,probably not," said Hage. "It takes time. They need to establish a flushing program." Hage also said in order for the problem to be solved, the neighborhood needs to work together. "They are really struggling,"he said. "They need to reach an agreement on a solution,but the solution is costly." Solutions to minimize the problem, include flushing the system(a temporary solution that only works for so long) and certain operational items, such as how a valve is opened or closed or how pumps are turned on or off. "But you need someone very familiar with the system,"Hage said. "The ultimate solution is to re-adjust or modify the system in such as way that can achieve maximum efficiency during flushing [such as adding hydrants], or the most costly is to replace the pipes." Hage suggested the association hire a civil or consulting engineer to assess the system. "If the problem continues and we hear more about the discoloration or more frequent [occurrences], then we need to sit down and assess with the water company, the sampling locations," said Hage. that the mixing valve had to be rebuilt because of the sediment in the water. "The furnace guy said it's the worst they've ever seen it,"Tony said. The couple said the problem has gotten so bad that residents are having to change their whole house filtration system filters on a monthly basis, instead of once every three months. "We need help,"Tony said. "We want to work with the association." Getting Costly http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/SWINDSOR/ArtWin.asp?Ski...- 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Would you drink this water? Page 3 of 7 The Moskiteses estimate they spend approximately$100 a month on bottled water to drink. They do not drink the well water,but they do use the water for cooking, once its boiled and use it to wash their clothes. Residents used to pay$60 a quarter for water,but the cost has now been raised to $80 a quarter by the association. The funds pay for the water,maintenance of the well, officer's salaries, and other items. The board also found that the association is $18,000 over-budget due to testing expenses, the cost of meeting state requirements, and the fact that some families are behind in their quarterly fees—another reason why fees were raised. "People are livid because they are paying more for brown water,"Tammy said. The family said they have been dealing with the brown water issue since Nov. 2004, and went through the proper channels to try to alleviate the problem, including attending water association meetings. The couple says they have done everything the water association and the health department has suggested—they spent$1,000 on new copper piping throughout their home and$140 to have their furnace cleaned in March 2005. Several weeks ago, when the family had no hot water, they called the oil company, and were told "Something that should be taken care of Peach Tree Lane resident Bill Cox said he noticed brown water at his home for a few weeks in January 2006,but he's never had water as brown as the Moskiteses. "Even though we're not getting it,brown water throughout, it's definitely in our filter," said Peach Tree Lane resident Cynthia Bean, who helped the Moskiteses gather signatures in the neighborhood. She put a new water filter in her system on Sunday, Feb. 5, and just days later, she was noticing traces of sediment. Benedict Drive resident Marie Ceraldi said she does not drink her water, resorting to the bottled variety for cooking—she doesn't even give the tap water to her cat. Ceraldi has lived in her home since 1994. "My daughter [Pat] changed this filter a week ago,"she said,pointing to her kitchen faucet. "And as you can see, it's already turning brown."—Ceraldi said she worries about ruining her appliances, clothing and other items. "It's something I definitely think should be taken care of,"said Ceraldi. Ceraldi said at the time she moved in, there was no problem with the water. She noted it's been "quite a while"that she's had the brown water, and that it's brown all the time. "Pat [my daughter] notices it's dark at night, when she takes a shower," Ceraldi said. Dave Arel, who lives on Pine Tree Lane, reported dingy laundry, and large particles of sediment floating in his water. "It was brown about three weeks ago, now it's like this in the drain,"he said,holding up a bottle that had large pieces of material floating in it, and a tinge of brown color to it. "This is constantly from the shower." AnnaBella Oliveira, who lives on Benedict Drive, said she has brown water a few days a week —at least. She said she began to notice it about 18 months ago. "It started in my toilets—that's where I noticed the brown,red, disgusting water. Now it's everywhere." Oliveira said her refrigerator filtration system—part of water/ice combination—has sediment in it. "My fridge makes ice cubes—I can't use them,"she said. She also noted the water has a funny smell to it—a chlorinated,bleachy smell. Oliveira noted a time when her 10-year-old son came home from school sick, and asked to take a bath. What she saw in her bathtub could only be described as "disgusting." "It was like dirt in the bathtub," she said. "It was really,really bad—the whole bathtub was like mud." http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/S WINDSOR/ArtWin.asp?Ski... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Would you drink this water? Page 4 of 7 Oliveira has lived in her Benedict Drive home for the past 13 years,but her husband Paul, she said, grew up in the house. "My frustration is at a level—it's just awful," Oliveira said. "They know it,"she said of the board, noting she too, is a vocal association member. "[They] should have raised our prices a long time ago to maintain the system. It's just very frustrating." Help from the town and state Tony and Tammy have contacted the state health department and a letter is in the process of being sent to Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Twentynine other residents have signed the letter to Blumenthal stating they too, had brown water,but the Moskiteses acknowledged not all 216 homes were solicited. "We just asked the general area,"Tony said. In the letter to Blumenthal, it was noted that the board has had the system flushed, complied with state regulations, and had a company come out to detect possible leaks in the main.No major leaks were detected, the letter stated,but a formal report had not yet been submitted to the board. "We need help," said Tony Moskites. "Our board has thrown their hands up and said they've done everything they can do. For me, that's not good enough." Once association officials said there wasn't anything more they could do, the Moskiteses decided to take the issue to the town council. The council promised they would look into the situation. Town Manager Matthew Galligan, who was approached by the couple last year, said he requested information of the water association,but never received it. "I think what we need to do is probably go to one of the state commissions and get them to qualify this as a site that can no longer be done on its own, and the usually what happens is they may demand that Manchester or Connecticut Water or the MDC take over and do what has to be done," said Galligan. "So what I think I will do, if you don't mind,"he said to the council, "I'll talk to Robinson and Cole [interim town attorney representation] about the process and see if we can get that process going and get something done. I mean, that's not acceptable at all,"he said, pointing to the water the Moskiteses brought with them to the council meeting. "Are the homes evenly divided that have the high turbidity?Are they all concentrated in one area?" asked Deputy Mayor Tom Delnicki. "There is a good portion of them in one area,but there are sporadic [areas]," said Tammy Moskites. "They are stretched all the way out to Kelly Road." Delnicki suggested to Galligan that contact be made with the Department of Environmental Protection and the Dept of Public Health. "Because any water service has to have a charter, and they have to meet requirements," Delnicki said. "There are standards the state requires a water service to deliver, and I can tell you just by looking at it, they're not meeting what they call turbidity, the cloudiness of the water. And that would be grounds to take a charter away from a water company, or they get an order from the state to come into compliance within a certain amount of time,"he said. "At one time, didn't Connecticut Water Company explore purchasing that system?" asked Councillor Ed Havens. "They did,"said Galligan. "There was a time when I first got here, that Connecticut Water was trying to take over that system. They took over some other piping,but I don't think the association was willing to give it up." "To me, there's a relevance to [this]," said Councillor Deborah Fine. "Please keep us informed," said Mayor Matthew Streeter. "This is the best help we've gotten," said Tony, who was gratified for the council's help. Delnicki confirmed that Galligan is in the process of setting up a meeting with Michele Richard— a meeting Delnicki himself plans on attending. "I have every intention to attend that meeting because I share the same concerns [of the residents],"Delnicki said. "We want to get to the bottom of this and do what we can at the council http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/SWINDSOR/ArtWin.asp?Ski... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Would you drink this water? Page 5 of 7 level to get this resolved." Delnicki added, "[the water] could very well be fine at the well head,but it's pretty obvious there is a problem when it gets to the people's homes. I don't buy there's nothing they can do— this is a problem that has to be solved. People have an expectation when they turn their faucets on, and it's not brown water." Hage said the Dept. of Public Health is willing to help in any way they can, if their services are called upon. "Their issue is one that takes the members to work together to solve the problem. The solution is in their"hands,"he said. "We're willing to help these people and assist them when they call on us to assist them." Would you drink this water? Tony and Tammy Moskites,who live in the Avery Heights development off of Avery Street,brought their brown water to the South Windsor Town Council on Feb. 6.

Not all residents of the Avery Heights development are experiencing brown water,but the issue has been brought to the South Windsor Town Council and a letter has been sent to Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. A meeting is in the process of being planned to include the town manager and president of the Avery Heights Water Association. http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/S WINDSOR/ArtWin.asp?Ski... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Water issue brought to town council, attorney gen... Page 1 of 4 Place a Free Classified Ad Water issue brought to town council, attorney general —was suggested that the pipes be replaced. The water association's board said it would cost approximately$2.5 million to have the 8-miles of piping replaced. "The pipes are 55 years old," said Tony. "We were originally told they were good for 25 years —now we're being told they are good for 75 years." The Moskiteses had their bathroom sink's water sampled by Allied Home Inspection of South Windsor, and tested in April 2005 by Northwest Environmental Water Labs, Inc., of Oakville, Conn. The test concluded that the level of the metal manganese was 0.51, over the limit of.05, and the turbidity, which is the amount of suspended material in the water, was 22.6, when the limit is between 0 and 5. The independent results do not meet the U.S. Public Health recommendations,however they do fall within state requirements, as Richard said it did. Manganese at levels greater than .05 mg/L, according to the independent test, "may produce brownish black stains in laundry and on fixtures and impart an objectionable odor and taste. It is usually,.found along with iron in soil with a high mineral content. Oxidation followed by a greensand filter is the common method of manganese removal,"the report states. "All the parameters that are required to be tested for,meet state and federal requirements," said Michael Hage, section supervisor with the drinking water section of the state Department of Public Health. "We have, as a result from the complaints from some residents, had samples analyzed at the state lab."Those samples, he said, came back satisfactory. "They are not in violation of the state codes, they are not in violation of federal codes," Hage said. Water is tested for more than 200 parameters, said Hage,but are more frequently tested for coliform, turbidity, pH, nitrates, and once a year, required to be tested for organic chemicals and depending on the size of the system, in this case, once every three years, tested for inorganic chemicals [metals]. "It's not what's entering the system that is discolored," said Hage, rather, its the pipes themselves. "The sediment is settling at the bottom of the pipes,"he said. Hage says the pipes are corroding inside. He said what is in the brown water is iron,manganese and other metals, from the corroding pipes. Hage said the state has worked with the association to set up an action plan to help alleviate the problem,but it takes time. "Are they in the clear,probably not," said Hage. "It takes time. They need to establish a flushing program." Hage also said in order for the problem to be solved, the neighborhood needs to work together. "They are really struggling,"he said. "They need to reach an agreement on a solution,but the solution is costly." Solutions to minimize the problem, include flushing the system(a temporary solution that only works for so long) and certain operational items, such as how a valve is opened or closed or how http://www.remindemewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/S WINDSOR/ArtWin.asp?Ski... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Water issue brought to town council, attorney gen... Page 2 of 4 pumps are turned on or off. "But you need someone very familiar with the system,"Hage said. "The ultimate solution is to re-adjust or modify the system in such as way that can achieve maximum efficiency during flushing [such as adding hydrants], or the most costly is to replace the pipes." Hage suggested the association hire a civil or consulting engineer to assess the system. "If the problem continues and we hear more about the discoloration or more frequent [occurrences], then we need to sit down and assess with the water company, the sampling locations," said Hage. that the mixing valve had to be rebuilt because of the sediment in the water. "The furnace guy said it's the worst they've ever seen it,"Tony said. The couple said the problem has gotten so bad that residents are having to change their whole house filtration system filters on a monthly basis, instead of once every three months. "We need help,"Tony said. "We want to work with the association." Getting Costly The Moskiteses estimate they spend approximately$100 a month on bottled water to drink. They do not drink the well water,but they do use the water for cooking, once its boiled and use it to wash their clothes. Residents used to pay$60 a quarter for water,but the cost has now been raised to $80 a quarter by the association. The funds pay for the water, maintenance of the well, officer's salaries, and other items. The board also found that the association is $18,000 over-budget due to testing expenses, the cost of meeting state requirements, and the fact that some families are behind in their quarterly fees—another reason why fees were raised. "People are livid because they are paying more for brown water,"Tammy said. The family said they have been dealing with the brown water issue since Nov. 2004, and went through the proper channels to try to alleviate the problem, including attending water association meetings. The couple says they have done everything the water association and the health department has suggested—they spent$1,000 on new copper piping throughout their home and$140 to have their furnace cleaned in March 2005. Several weeks ago, when the family had no hot water, they called the oil company, and were told "Something that should be taken care of" Peach Tree Lane resident Bill Cox said he noticed brown water at his home for a few weeks in . January 2006,but he's never had water as brown as the Moskiteses. "Even though we're not getting it,brown water throughout, it's definitely in our filter," said Peach Tree Lane resident Cynthia Bean, who helped the Moskiteses gather signatures in the neighborhood. She put a new water filter in her system on Sunday, Feb. 5, and just days later, she was noticing traces of sediment. Benedict Drive resident Marie Ceraldi said she does not drink her water, resorting to the bottled variety for cooking—she doesn't even give the tap water to her cat. Ceraldi has lived in her home since 1994. "My daughter [Pat] changed this filter a week ago," she said,pointing to her kitchen faucet. "And as you can see, it's already turning brown." ht ://www.remin rn tp de ewspapers.com/default/Layout/includes/SWINDSOR/ArtWm.asp.Slo... 3/8/2006 ReminderNewspapers.com- 02-21-06 -Water issue brought to town council, attorney gen...

Such determination shall be made if that groundwater source is at risk of contamination from surface water. In making this determination,the department shall be guided by its document entitled "Determination Of Groundwater Under The Direct Influence of Surface Water," As an Interim requirement until such treatment is operational, turbidity shall not exceed a monthly average of one(1)NTU or a two(2)consecutive day average of five(5)NTUS as motsitored pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-I3-13102(c)(7)(H)and-the systcm supplied by this source shall be free of any waterborne disease outbreak, Further Comment And Corrective Action The criteria for classifying groundwater sources of supply as potentially under the direct influence of surface water for wells constructed above a confining layer is for wells within two hundred(200)feet of surface water or the annual high water mark.Well#1 has been identified as being withixt_two.hpdred<200)fget of;surface water and a gravel pack well constructed above a confining layer:T1wefgmj1 .Avery�Xaights'Water Association,Inc. is required to eorismence a study to determine wh;ther.Well*1 i.s under the direct influence of surface water to be completed prior to December 17,.20.06.Following the completion of the study, a detennination will be made on whether the aforementioned water treatment facilities are required:at the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. Please refer to the enclosed document entitled Deterrnin Lion of Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water for more information regarding this zegulatory requirement. As an interim measure and pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B102(e)(7)(H),daily measurornents for turbidity are required at the entry point to the distribution system,If any one (1)turbidity measurement exceeds one(1) NT13, a total ooliform bacteria and physical parameter sample is required to be collected at the entry point to the distribution system within twenty-four(24)hours.Additionally,the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. shall maintain its current configuration of disinfection treatment pursuant the-RCSA Section 19-13- B 102(e)(7)(1bi), If a study to determine whether Well 41 is under the direct influence of surface water has been performed previously,please submit such study to the Drinking Water Section for review, 3) RCSA Section 19-13-13102(e)(7)(M): Where the water is chlorinated, at least daily tests shall be made for residual chlorine. A system that uses a groundwater source under the direct influence of surface water, and that does not provide and operate treatment pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B 1020)(2), shall disinfect in accordance with the RCSA Section 19.13-131020)(3)(B). When groundwater source not under the direct influence of surface water is chlorinated, a free chlorine residual of.at least 0.2 mg/L after ten (10) minutes contact,or the equivalent thereof, shall be used. 2 Fax:8605097359 Jul 13 2005 ` 2:27 P.06 Further omment And,Correctiye Action At the reported pumping capacity of two hundred(200)gallons per minute(gpm) for Well#1_and with the 15,000 galion hydropncumatie storage tank(5,000 gallons of useable storage capacity)the Avery Heights . Treatment Station provides twenty-five(25)minutes of contact time prior to the entry point to the distribution system.At the time of the sanitary survey the location used for performing the daily tests for residual chlorine was identified to be at the far and of the distribution system.The:required daily tests for residual chlorine ire required to be made prior to or at the entry point to the distribution system.However,it is recommended that the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.continue to monitor the residual chlorine levels at the.far end of the distribution system to gauge the efficiency of the chlorine disinfection treatment process. 4) RCSA Section 19-13.B IO2(e)(7)(N):pH and phosphate monitoring: Where the pH value is artificially adjusted,tests for pH value shall be made of the treated water daily,or as required by the department. Further Comment And Corrective Act!an At the time of the sanitary survey the location-used for performing the daily testsfor pH was identified.to be at the far end of the distribution system.The required daily tests for pH are required of the treated water prior to or at the entry point to the distribution system pursuant to this regulatory requirement and the.RCSA Section 19-13-B IO2(c)(9)(C)(ii).The latter regulatory requirement is in rcfcrenc6.to the Lead and Copper Rule and the ongoing monitoring requirements for water quality control parameters as follow-up to the Lead and Copper Mule cxceedance issued for the January 1, 1998 to December 31,200:1 monitoring period.The Avery Heights Water Association,Inc, is required to maintain a pH of 7.0 at the entry point to the distribution system to be considered to be in compliance with the system'st water quality control parameters reflecting optimal corrosion control.

If conditions warrant, greater distance shall be required. Sanitary conditions in the area within the radial distance required shall be under control of the well owner by ownership, easement,or other arrangement approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Health.If a sewer is constructed of extra heavy cast iron pipe with leaded joints or equal approved type of tight joint,a minimum separating distance of one hundred(100)feet shall be maintained. Further Comment And Corrective Action The Avery Heights Water Association,Inc. does not maintain a two hundred(200) foot radial distance around Well#1 under complete control by ownership, easement, or other arrangement approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Public Health.This regulatory requirement can be satisfied by establishing a sanitary easement(s)on all properties within the two hundred(200)foot radial distance not under the ownership of the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.As a result of this regulatory violation,the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.has been placed on monthly monitoring for total coliform bacteria and physical parameters effective July 1, 2005. 2) RCSA Section 19-13-B1020)(2)(D): A system shall install and have operational treatment consisting of disinfection and filtration in accordance with the RCSA Section 19-13-B1020)(2)within eighteen(18) months following the Department's determination that treatment is required for a groundwater source. Such determination shall be made if that groundwater source is at risk of contamination from surface water. In making this determination,the department shall be guided by its document entitled "Determination Of Groundwater Under The Direct Influence of Surface Water." As an interim requirement until such treatment is operational,turbidity shall not exceed a monthly average of one(1)NTU or a two(2)consecutive day average of five(5)NTUS as monitored pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B 102(e)(7)(H)and the system supplied by this source shall be free of any waterborne disease outbreak. Further Comment And Corrective Action The criteria for classifying groundwater sources of supply as potentially under the direct influence of surface water for wells constructed above a confining layer is for wells within two hundred(200)feet of surface water or the annual high water mark.Well#1 has been identified as being within two hundred(200)feet of surface water and a gravel pack well constructed above a confining layer.Therefore,the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc. is required to commence a study to determine whether Well#1 is under the direct influence of surface water to be completed prior to December 17,2006.Following the completion of the study,a determination will be made on whether the aforementioned water treatment facilities are required at the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.Please refer to the enclosed document entitled Determination of Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water for more information regarding this regulatory requirement. As an interim measure and pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B 102(e)(7)(H), daily measurements for turbidity are required at the entry point to the distribution system. If any one(1)turbidity measurement exceeds one(1) NTU, a total coliform bacteria and physical parameter sample is required to be collected at the entry point to the distribution system within twenty-four(24)hours.Additionally,the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. shall maintain its current configuration of disinfection treatment pursuant the RCSA Section 19-13- B 102(e)(7)(M).If a study to determine whether Well#1 is under the direct influence of surface water has been performed previously,please submit such study to the Drinking Water Section for review. 3) RCSA Section 19-13-B102(e)(7)(M): Where the water is chlorinated, at least daily tests shall be made for residual chlorine. A system that uses a groundwater source under the direct influence of surface water, and that does not provide and operate treatment pursuant to the RCSA Section 19-13-B 1020)(2), shall disinfect in accordance with the RCSA Section 19-13-13102(j)(3)(B). When groundwater source not under the direct influence of surface water is chlorinated, a free chlorine residual of at least 0.2 mg/L after ten (10) minutes contact,or the equivalent thereof, shall be used. 2 Further Comment And Corrective Action At the reported pumping capacity of two hundred(200)gallons per minute(gpm) for Well#1 and with the 15,000 gallon hydropneumatic storage tank(5,000 gallons of useable storage capacity)the Avery Heights Treatment Station provides twenty-five(25)minutes of contact time prior to the entry point to the distribution system.At the time of the sanitary survey the location used for performing the daily tests for residual chlorine was identified to be at the far end of the distribution system.The required daily tests for residual chlorine are required to be made prior to or at the entry point to the distribution system.However,it is recommended that the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc. continue to monitor the residual chlorine levels at the far end of the distribution system to gauge the efficiency of the chlorine disinfection treatment process. 4) RCSA Section 19-13-B IO2(e)(7)(N):pH and phosphate monitoring: Where the pH value is artificially adjusted,tests for pH value shall be made of the treated water daily, or as required by the department. Further Comment And Corrective Action At the time of the sanitary survey the location used for performing the daily tests for pH was identified to be at the far end of the distribution system. The required daily tests for pH are required of the treated water prior to or at the entry point to the distribution system pursuant to this regulatory requirement and the RCSA Section 19-13-B 102(e)(9)(C)(ii).The latter regulatory requirement is in reference to the Lead and Copper Rule and the ongoing monitoring requirements for water quality control parameters as follow-up to the Lead and Copper Rule exceedance issued for the January 1, 1998 to December 31,2001 monitoring period. The Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. is required to maintain a pH of 7.0 at the entry point to the distribution system to be considered to be in compliance with the system's water quality control parameters reflecting optimal corrosion control. Conclusions&Recommendations 1) Based on a review of the Sampling Site Plan submitted by the Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. on June 7,2004,the following modifications are required: Sampling Point ID: AHW001 (435 Benedict Drive Raw) can not be considered a Total Coliform Rule(TCR) Sampling Location and should be removed from the Sampling Site Plan. Sampling Point ID: AHWO02(435 Benedict Drive Treated)can not be used as a Disinfection By-Products(DBP)Average Residence Time(MD) Sampling Location. Additionally,the TCR Sampling Locations identified are required to be representative of water throughout the distribution system pursuant the RCSA Section 19-13-B 102(e)(7)(D)(i). It is recommended that TCR Sampling Locations be identified in the southern and western sections of the distribution system and one in the vicinity of the Avery Heights Treatment Station. 2) The RCSA Section 19-13-B102(f)(6)requires that Public Water Systems maintain and conduct an annual distribution system flushing program to maintain the distribution system free from excessive accumulation of sediment,organic growths,products of corrosion and erosion,and other extraneous matter. It is recommended that the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.review its current flushing program and develop an aggressive and comprehensive distribution system flushing program to combat any residual sediments within the distribution piping-network.Upon completion of this review,the distribution system flushing program should be submitted to the Drinking Water Section. 3) The RCSA Section 19-13-B102(s)requires that Public Water System develop a program to reduce the amount of water which cannot be accounted for and submitted to the Drinking Water Section for review and approval. Such program shall include a schedule of implementation and consideration of the following elements: ➢ Calibration of supply and main line meters ➢ Calibration of consumers' meters ➢ Pipeline flow measurements ➢ Leakage surveys ➢ Inspection of bleeders At the time of the sanitary survey the possibility of distribution leaks was identified as a probable cause to a recent increase in water discoloration consumer complaints.This program to reduce and minimize 3 unaccounted for water will identify the possible leaks within the distribution system.The leaks could then be repaired and reduce the potential for future water main breaks. 4) The RCSA Section 19-13-B 102(o)and Section 19-13-B 102(p) address the requirements for Community Public Water Systems to maintain supply in excess of system demand. Section 19-13-B102(o)mandates that a plan be prepared and maintained for each Community Public Water System relating the safe yield and available water of the supply system to the existing and projected demands of the service area. Section 19-13- B 102(p)mandates that sources of supply,treatment,pumping transmission and storage facilities of sufficient capacity shall be maintained to provide flows in excess of the maximum flows experienced in the Community Public Water System. The Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.maintains Well#1 and the Avery Heights Treatment Station as the sole source of supply for the Community Public Water System which provides for sufficient supply in excess of system demand.However,it is recommended that the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc. investigate the addition of an additional source of supply to increase supply flexibility and capacity in the event Well#1 and the Avery Heights Treatment Station supply is interrupted.Formalizing the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.'s emergency interconnection with the Manchester Water Department would add this additional source of supply.Additionally,the installation of atmospheric storage facilities at the Avery Heights Treatment Station would provide for an increased useable storage capacity and the ability to accept potable water from an approved water hauler in emergency situations. 5) A formal response to this Sanitary Survey Report is due by August 1,2005.The formal response should include a plan of correct for each regulatory violation identified,commentary on the Conclusions& Recommendations section of the Sanitary Survey Report and verification and/or correction of any other information within this document. 4 STATE OF CONNECTICUT ' DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH A -.`NANS>Vy September 8,2005 Ms. Michelle Richard 250 Benedict Drive South Windsor,CT 06074 PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM: Avery Heights Water Association,Inc CLASSIFICATION: Community TOWN: South Windsor PW SID: CT 1320011 RE: SANITARY SURVEY RESPONSE Dear Ms. Richard: Based on a review of your August 4,2005 written response to the sanitary survey performed on May 11,2005 at the Avery Heights Water Association,Inc.,compliance has not been achieved on any of the regulatory violations cited within the sanitary survey report.However, a plan of action has been initiated.

Last year,as in years past,your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)and state -drinking water health standards. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants,people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.EPA/Centers for Disease Control(CDC)guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline(800-426-4791). Where does my water come from? The system obtains water from one(1)deep bedrock well. Water obtained from bedrock has been filtered by the soil above it. Source water assessment and its availability A water assessment of Avery Heights Water Association was recently completed by the Department of Public Health,Drinking Water Division. The updated assessment report can be found on the Department of Public Health's website; http://dph.state.ct_us/BRS/Water/Source Protection/Assessments/.htm. The assessment found that this public drinking water source has a moderate susceptibility to protential sources of contamination. Additional source water assessment information can be found at the Environmental Protection Agency's wedbsite; www.epa.gov/safewater/protect/swap.html. Why are there contaminants in my drinking water? Drinking water, including bottled water,may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants, The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline(800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water(both tap water and bottled water)include rivers,lakes, streams,ponds,reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and,in some cases,radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activitymicrobial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria,that may P PPP- come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife;inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals,which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,industrial,or domestic wastewater discharges,oil and gas production,mining, or farming;pesticides and herbicides,which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture,urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff,and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants,which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink,EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration(FDA)regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. How can I get involved? No customer participation meetings on the waxer system are scheduled. Information on issues related to the water system may be obtained by contacting Michelle Richard at 860-644-0425. General information on the health effects of drinking water may be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe drinking water Hotline at 1-800- 426-4791. Water Quality Data Table The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted,the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. lip wM �•.` - - _ -fir _ � - - ;�.. - _ .�-�`'S�`����_: TTHMs[Total NA 80 2 NA 2004 �No By-product of drinking water Trihalomethanes](ppb) disinfection Barium(ppm) 2 2 0.923 NA 2003 No Erosion of natural deposits Nitrate[measured as 10 10 3.45 NA 2004 No Runoff from fertilizer use; Nitrogen](ppm) _ Erosion of natural deposits Sodium(optional) MPL 24.2 NA 2003 No Erosion of natural deposits; (ppm) Leaching Turbidity(NTU) s NA 5 0.889 NA 2004 No Soil runoff The highest single measurement was 1 Any measurement in excess of 1 is a violation unless otherwise approved by the state fir'--.

I am a resident of South Windsor and I live in the Avery Heights section. Our community is serviced by the Avery Heights Water District. In the past couple of months our association appears to have mismanaged our quality of environment in the usage of water. I am a single person and I live alone with my cat. I was notified by mail that the residents of the area could water their lawns on odd and even days, we are now notified that we cannot use the water for maintaining our lawns until Sept. 15, 2002. The association has taken upon itself the exercise of police power by surveillancing the neighborhood and approaching people on their properties, and has gone so far as shutting off the water on the property. I personally experienced an incident while on my vacation I was using the water when a member of the association pulled in my driveway and told me I was using the water for too long. And another incident where it was my day to use the water, for 1 hour and a member of the association stopped at my property and questioned that I was using the water on the day that I was permitted to. Incidentally, this was at 5:15am. I would appreciate it if the association would respect me, and my property and the fact that I am aware of the problems they have created and that it is unwise to trespass on someone elses property. I respect the usage of water and our environment..But I also have a garden, and flowers and I have spent alot of money on reseeding my lawn. Our association has spent too much time and effort in aggrivating the residents in this area without a resolution to the problem of an actual water shortage. I pay the same amount as everyone else in this area for water usage, and I live alone. Money was spent in the past for the upgrade of a water pump which was sufficent to supply the area, now we are being told that the association is unable to find a suitable site for a new pump. Please assist to find a resolution to this nightmare. Andrea J.

Therefore,the Department grants the reduction of the sampling frequency for lead and cupper from 10 samples every six months to 10 samples annually. The next schedule for the collection of samples of lead and copper should be between June to September 2003. In addition,considering that you have installed a pH adjustment in your system, this Department mandates you to measure the pH concentration of your water on a daily basis. The results of the daily pH monitoring shall be compiled and a copy of the report shall be submitted to this Department monthly on or before the 9th day of the month following the end of the monitoring month. These pH readings are necessary so that we could determine the pH level of your water entering to the distribution system.

These laboratory reports are in response to our sampling requirements specified on the previous correspondence. The 901"percentile levels of both lead and copper are within the acceptable action levels set forth by the Department of Public Health code. Based on the results of the laboratory analysis, we noted that the 901h percentile level of Cu has dropped significantly after the pH in the water has been properly adjusted to a desired level. Maintaining the pH level of above 8.0 may prevent the lead and copper problems from reoccurring. Hence, daily pH readings are required. In this regard, we would like you to collect 10 water samples from distribution system on June 2002 for Pb and Cu analyses. Submit the results of the laboratory analysis to us for proper evaluation. If the results for this period are satisfactory, the corrosion treatment requirements may be suspended. In addition, you are hereby requested to test the pH, water temperature, alkalinity, conductivity and calcium when taking the Pb and Cu samples. A copy of the test results of these parameters along with Pb and Cu results should be submitted to this office no later than July 9, 2002.

Box 340.308 Hartford, CT 00134 An Equal Opportunity Employer SUBJECT : Sanitary Survey Of A Public Water S. stem UTILITY : Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. TOWN : South Windsor, CT DATE OF INSPECTION : November 27, 2001 FROM : Clifford A. McClellan, Jr.-SE3,Water Supplies Section INSPECTED WITH : Michele Richard DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM: Avery Heights Water Association, Inc. consists of 216 single-family homes that is served by a single gravel-pack well. The present Well #lA was drilled in July 2000 after the original well failed. It is located immediately adjacent to the eastern side of the original pumphouse. It is 62 feet deep with a 10"to 30" telescoping casing. It is equipped with 10 feet of 0.030 slot stainless steel Johnson well screen. A 2-stage 25HP submersible Goulds pump delivers approximately 225gpm. The pump is set at 50'6" and was pumping at 215 gpm at the time of inspection. A 15,500-gallon pressure tank provides water storage. This tank had its interior and face resurfaced during 8/00 when the system was down. It was also refitted with a badly needed drain ball valve. The tank is also equipped with a pressure gauge, 3 sight tubes and an automatic air compressor. The operating pressure appears to be 60-75psi. This operating range provides 511.5 gallons of storage between pump cycles. The pump discharge line has a chrome threadless raw water sample tap, a production meter and Cla-val pressure regulating valve. There is no strainer to protect the valve or meter turbine from sand should the screen ever fail. The distribution system consists of 10 & 12" AC piping and 7 flushing hydrants which are flushed annually by the association.- When breaks or leaks occur, the AC pipe is replaced with ductile iron pipe. The well has an H-O-A switch was has been temporarily by-passed. The well pump cannot be manually activated. The association has a 6" interconnection with Manchester Water Department located in Pond Lane. Avery Heights can purchase up to 50,000 GPD through this interconnection. The pumphouse is heated, well lit and drained. It also contains an eyewash and deluge emergency shower station. The original well has been filled in and capped. TREATMENT: The raw water is treated with 15% sodium hypochlorite (disinfection) and 45%potassium hydroxide (corrosion control) before it enters the pressure tank. Both chemicals have identical 40-gallon day tanks and LMI Milton Roy diaphragm chemical injection pumps. Both chemical pumps are wired to a single electrical outlet that is energized when the well pump activates. This prevents chemical overfeed should the well pump fail. Association members take daily pH and free chlorine residual readings. Aqua Pump of Stafford, CT maintains the treatment systems. The chlorine is dosed at levels that will give some residual at the distribution ends. A target pH of 7.8 is attempted in the treated effluent. The raw water pH was 7.2 on the day of inspection, with a treated pH of 7.3. On the day of inspection a free chlorine residual of 0.33ppm was detected in the pumphouse effluent and 0.16ppm at 250 Benedict Drive(close to distribution end). OPERATOR CERTIFICATIONS: Aqua Pump-Victor Nigro,#276918 WATER QUALITY: Water quality from this public water system consistently meets the requirements set by Public Health Code Section 19-13-B102 (e) which regulates public water systems. However, since the raw water is somewhat aggressive the system did fail to meet the copper action level of 1.3ppm in August of this year, with a level of 1.55ppm. Since that time the pH has been adjusted upward to around 7.7. A new set of 10 samples will be collected in January 2002 when the treated pH stabilizes around 8_4. Three sanitary chemical samples taken during the survey(see attached) show: Raw-Hardness-65ppm, Sat. Index-(-1.3) Treated(POE)-Hardness-46ppm, Sat. Index-(-1.5)! Distribution- (250 Benedict Drive)-Hardness-21ppm, Sat. Index+l.l) PUBLIC HEALTH CODE WHO VIOLATIONS: Section 19-13-B102 0)(6)(B)-Copper Action level RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1) Due to land constraints and insufficient separating distances a second back-up well cannot be sited. Consideration should be given to the addition of more storage, specifically an atmospheric storage tank (with a transfer pump) of sufficient size to accept hauled water. Should the well fail for whatever reason the 50,000GPD interconnection could be augmented with hauled in water as the system's daily demand greatly exceeds 50,000 gallons per day. 2) The 7 hydrants should be flushed in the spring and fall of the year starting with the hydrant closest to the well and continuing out in the distribution system to the furthest hydrant. 3) The pressure tank's drain valve should be opened monthly to check for sediments and sand particles. The emergency eyewash/shower should be flushed monthly. 4) When the original well failed sand was pumped from the well through the production meter and into the tank. The meter's turbine could have become damaged. Should the meter readings become suspect, the meter should be calibrated and repaired or replaced as necessary. If this is done a screen/strainer should be installed upstream from the meter and pressure regulating valves to protect their internal workings from future possible sand damage. 5) The raw water sample line could use an additional support to the wall to make it more rigid. 6) The H-O-A switch box should be repaired so that the well can be activated manually. 7) Should low pressure complaints develop at the ends of the distribution system, operational pressures could be increased another 1 Opsi. 8) The area around the pumphouse is becoming very cluttered and littered with discarded equipment and refuse. It should be cleaned up and maintained in a more sanitary. manner. As was mentioned in my letter of 8/15/00, underbrush and bushes are overgrowing the security fence and at some points, breaking it down. It should be cut back and kept away from the fencing to improve the sight line from the access road. 9) If, in fact, the association has approval to access the town's emergency generator, the necessary electrical wiring and switches should be installed to the pumping station at this time. The system is reminded that the approval of the Department must be obtained before installing treatment,storage,or new sources of supply(wells).

Based on the reported results of first-draw tap water samples for lead and copper collected from the public water system named above during the period from January 1,1998 to December 31, 2001 you are hereby notified that you have exceeded the action level for: [ ] lead,with a 90th percentile level of LEAD LEVEL mg/l. (action level=0.015 mg/1) [x] copper, with a 90th percentile level of 1.55 mg/l. (action level= 1.3 mg/1) As a result of this exceedance,the following actions are required: [X] 1 water sample(s) from distribution and 1 from each source of supply(i.e.point of entry) must be collected on two different occasions and tested for the water quality parameters listed on the attached sheet prior to December 31,2001. A copy of the test results must be submitted to this Department no later than January 9, 2002. [X] One water sample must be collected from each source of supply(i.e. Well# 1A) and tested for lead and copper prior to March 31, 2002. A copy of the test results must be submitted to this Department no.later than April 9, 2002. Phone:Telephone Q n);55 pp5-t Dea'f� (860) 509-719/ 4/0 Capitol Avenure - MS # P.O. Box 340308 Hart/i0rcl, CT AT An Equal Opportunity Employer [X] An evaluation of treatment recommendations, including an identification of an optimal corrosion control treatment method, must be completed and submitted to this Department no later than March 31, 2002. For your information, no further lead and copper tap water monitoringis's required at this point in time, since an action level has been exceeded. However, a system may wish to continue lead and copper tap sampling for two more consecutive six month monitoring periods, at the original sampling sites. If there are no exceedances during the two periods, the treatment requirement may be suspended. Additionally, follow-up tap water monitoring will be required after an approved treatment system is installed. If you have any questions regarding this matter,please feel free to contact me at this office. Sincerely, Clifford A.

(AHWA) 250 Benedict Drive South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Ms. Richard: Enclosed are copies of the water quality test results that I took on 9/12/00. Overall the test results are satisfactory. There was no asbestos found in the distribution water and the volatile organic chemical (VOC)test results showed only trace levels of organics. Most of the VOCs showing in the distribution water sample are total trihalomenthanes(THMs)that result from the chlorination at the pump house. The downside of the results shows that the water in the distribution system(at your home) is more aggressive than the water immediately exiting the storage tank. The sodium hypochlorite addition is doing nothing to assuage the raw water's natural corrosiveness. The water quality results, concerning corrosiveness, demonstrate this: Pump House 250 Benedict Drive pH 6.8 6.7 Alkalinity 81ppm 69ppm Hardness 72 " 73 « Dissolved Solids 170ppm 180ppm Saturation Index -1.8 -2.0 Calcium 25ppm 25ppm These results show that the water in the distribution system is actually more corrosive than the source water! With these results in mind I would strongly urge AHWA to resume the addition of potassium hydroxide to raise the pH of its source water. Without this addition, I fear AHWA will fail its next round of lead/copper sampling. Keep in mind,should pH adjustment be reinstituted, not to inject the KOH at the same point as the Phone: 509-7333 Telephone Device for the Deaf (860) 509-7191 410 Capitol Avenue - MS # 51WAT P.O.

(AHWA) 250 Benedict Drive South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Ms. Richard: Enclosed you will find the final appro�val-and water quality results=of the new replacement welftor your water system. We have discussed several issues over the past weeks that I would like to document for clarification. 1)As you know this office has not yet made a final decision as to whether continued potash(KOH) chemical injection is still necessary.You will note from the water quality analyses the new well is just as "soft" as the old one and this softness (low mineralization) combined with a low pH makes a water very"aggressive"to metallic plumbing systems. The new well like the old well has a saturation index of minus 1.9, a mildly aggressive(corrosive) water. The quicker the sodium hypochlorite(bleach) injection is reactivated,the better. As I have mentioned,when the hypochlorite (NaOCI) disassociates in water it has the tendency to raise the water's pH. How much we will only know after time. The new well has a raw water pH of 6.9 and perhaps the bleach addition may bring it up enough to preclude future copper problems. To reiterate, the bleach has to be dosed high enough (0.4ppm?) coming out of the tank,to give a detectable (0.01ppm as free chlorine) at the ends of your distribution system.Please let me know when the hypochlorite feed system is put back on-line. 2)I think AHWA should consider cutting back all the underbrush and secondary growth that is encroaching on the pump station. In some places the brush is compromising the very purpose of the security-fence by growing over it. Opening up the area around the pump station will improve air circulation around the subgrade house,thereby minimizing moisture damage to the roof and sills and,trespassing of unauthorized individuals will be more readily noticeable from the street. 3) Once this project is finally complete I suggest you consider the acquiring of emergency power for your water system.I noticed that you have already purchased the necessary material to connect to the town emergency generator at the sewage pump station across the brook. If AHWA loses power to its well, it will be a matter of minutes before your entire distribution system becomes dewatered, i.e. empty. As Phone: 509-7325 j; Telephone Device for the Deaf (860) 509-7191 ■ 410 Capitol Avenue - MS # 51 WAT P.O. Box 340308 Hartford, CT 06134 An Equal Opportunity Employer you only have the one pressure tank, water will not be able to be trucked in and piped into the tank because it is a pressure vessel. I know you have the interconnection with Manchester Water but, in a real life emergency, e.g. a hurricane, it may take hours to get the interconnection activated as opposed to minutes plugging into the town generator. If the power cable is in fact to heavy to haul over to the generator perhaps an alternate plan may be viable.You may want to consider trenching and burying most of the power cable up to a point on AHWA property that will be closest to the generator. Then terminating this end with a receptacle and enclosing it in a lockable junction box. The remaining distance could be reached by means of a power cable of sufficient length with proper receptacles at both ends. This cable extension could then be kept in your station and utilized whe-it-nae4ed,providing-the tow —s-- tolet, 01PAW use the-generator during power emefgencies. I would get the approval from the Town in writing and the approval should state that the generator could provide the emergency wattage necessary to handle your pump station's requirements. 4)And lastly,it is hoped that all of AHWA's hydrants have been flushed by the time you receive this letter.All of the hydrants should be flushed at least annually to rid the lines of sediment and detritus pursuant to our health code and NFPA standards. When flushed,the hydrants should be opened fully then gradually valved down during the flush until the water runs clear. I'll keep in touch until this project is completed.

Box 340308- Hartford, CT 06134 An Equal Opportunity Employer SUBJECT: Sanitary Survey of a Public Water System UTILITY: Avery Heights Water Association TOWN: South Windsor DATE OF INSPECTION: August 25, 1998 FROM: Sean Merrigan, SEI 5Nk INSPECTED WITH: Steve Little (AWS) DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM: Avery Heights Water Association (AHWA) receives its potable water from a single gravel-packed well (Well 1) located inside a pumphouse off Benedict Road (see attached schematic) . Well 1 is 68 feet deep and Utilizes a 30 hp turbine pump with a pumping capacity of 180 gallons per minute. Water is drawn from the well .and treated with a potassium hydroxide solution and a sodium hypochlorite. solution before entering a 15, 500 gallon pressure tank. Water is then delivered to the distribution system which consists of 216 houses (design population of 864 residents) . Flow meter records show that the AHWA system is using approximately 100, 000 gallons of water per day. The distribution system is equipped with fire hydrants and system pressure ranges from 50 to 70 psi . The pumphouse contains the following: drainage, heater, ventilation, air compressor, manual override switch for Well 1, pressurized storage tank, treatment system components and chemicals . The AHWA system has reportedly disconnected and abandoned two wells (Wells 2 and 3) that were used as supply sources in the past. Each of these wells had poor water quality with very high levels of iron and manganese . In the event that Well 1 becomes inoperable, an interconnection is in place with the Manchester Water Department (MWD) system. Water can be purchased by the AHWA and provided to its residents through this interconnection at a maximum rate of 50, 000 gallons per day .as described in the Town of Manchester Water Supply Plan page 3-44 (see attached copy) . TREATMENT: Water from Well 1 is treated with potassium hydroxide (45% solution) to increase pH levels due to elevated copper levels. The water is also treated with sodium hypochlorite (lo solution) to provide disinfection due to bacteria detection' s in the past. Both chemicals are mixed and stored inside separate 40 gallon day tanks. Each solution is injected by a positive displacement pump (LMI#7B48) into the water line before the storage tank. The pumps are also connected to a flow switch in the water line to avoid a chemical overfeed. Chlorine residuals and pH levels are taken daily by an association member (currently George Burke) . Monthly logs of daily readings sent to our office have shown chlorine residuals averaging 0 .5 ppm and pH leielis: ranging from 6 . 8 to 7 . 6-. All necessary safety equipment is provided in the pumphouse and the treatment system is maintained by Associated Water Services. WATER QUALITY: Water quality from the AHWA system meets the requirements set by the Public Health Code Section 19-13-B102 (e) which regulates public water systems . In the past, there have been sporadic bacteriological problems and elevated copper levels at - this facility. Treated water results indicate water of excellent sanitary and aesthetic quality with low mineralization. OPERATOR CERTIFICATIONS : (1) Distribution Operators (only for systems serving >1000 people) CBOT APPLICABLE (2) Treatment Operators (required for all systems with treatment) (a) Name of Operator: John Wittenzellner (b) Company: Associated Water Service (c) Certification Number: 91177 P'MIC HEALTH CODE (PHC) VIOLATIONS: Ncn-e. CONCLUSIONS : 1 - At the " time of the inspection, water was leaking badly from the turbine pump onto the floor. The leak is apparently a direct result of bad seals in the pump housing. This problem should be corrected immediately to avoid the added electrical expense of losing pumped water through the well head. 2 .. The water system should be flushed out to reduce any build up of aediment in the piping which could lead to bacteria growth or dE scoloration of the water. A maintenance schedule should be in Mace to ensure that this is accomplished annually through the flushing of hydrants . This is in accordance with CT PHC and NFPA practices (see enclosed copies) . 3 . 11ne storage tank exhibited developing corrosion and rust. It is recommended in the near future that it is resurfaced and repainted. The inside of the pumphouse and its appurtenances should always be maintained in a sanitary and dry condition to avoid costly corrosion repairs . 4 . The estimated maximum hourly demand (21, 600 gallons) of the water system exceeds the gallons available per maximum hour (18, 500 gallons) . If low pressure or loss of water occurs in the future, additional water storage may be necessary. 5 . If available, please submit a diagram of the water piping configuration for the AHWA distribution system. The diagram should consist of the underground pipes between Well 1, the pumphouse, and the residential houses being served. Also include the location of the interconnection with the MWD as well as the locations of the two abandoned wells (Well 2 and 3) that were used as sources of supply in the past . 6. AHWA is using approximately 100, 000 gallons of water daily. In the event of a water outage, only 50, 000 gallons per day can be purchased through the interconnection with the Manchester Water Department . Therefore, it will be very important to implement water conservation measures whenever it is .necessary to utilize this back-up source. The Avery Heights Water Association system is currently running properly and in .good condition.

A six-inch interconnection is;cwrently in place between.the Manchester Water Department system and the Avery Heights Water Association in South Windsor. A sale of excess water permit authorizes the transfer of up to 50,000 gallons per day from Manchester to Avery Heights during an emergency. Historically, it has been necessary to activate this interconnection on several occasions.due to operational problems experienced by Avery Heights. There is no mechanism for Avery Heights to provide water to Manchester. TOWN OFNIANCHESTER 1�'a"rER SUPPLY PLAN DECEMBER 1996 3_44 REVISED SEPTEMBER 1997 MILONE W�cBROQ\i, INC.

DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLY Avery Heights Water Association is comprised of 216 houses located in South Windsor. The residents receive their water from well #1, a gravel packed well located in the pump house. Two other wells are also part of the association. Well #2 has been inactivated and is physically disconnected from the system. Well #3 is located in a vault across the pond from the main pump house. The well is currently still connected to the system and is manually valved off. This well has high levels of iron and manganese and therefore is not used. Representatives of the utility have indicated that due to it's poor aesthetic quality, there are no future plans to ever use this well again. Water is pumped from well #1 by a turbine pump, and moved directly into a 15,500 gallon hydropneumatic storage tank. The water then goes into distribution through asbestos-cement piping. Just prior to entering the storage tank the water is injected with a sodium hypochlorite solution and a potassium hydroxide solution. Chlorination is done primarily because of sporadic coliform bacteria outbreaks in the past. The pH adjustment is done because of a copper exceedance. Avery Heights maintains a permanent interconnection with the Manchester Water Department. This interconnection can be used in the event of a power outage, and will supply water to the residents of Avery Heights. 2. WATER QUALITY Water quality from well #1 consistently meets the water quality standards set by the Connecticut Public Health Code Regulation 1943-13102(e), with the exception of a copper exceedance. A 90t' percentile copper level of 1.74 mg/1 was detected in the distribution system at Avery Heights. This was determined to be caused by the low pH in the raw water,from well #1. P 3. TREATMENT Avery Heights is currently treating its water with a sodium hypochlorite solution and a potassium hydroxide solution. These are both being injected in the raw water line prior to the hydropneumatic storage tank. LMI #7B48 positive displacement pumps and 40 gallon day tanks are being used for each chemical. .The potassium hydroxide is currently being injected at 17.6 ppm. A flow switch is connected to both pumps so chemicals will get fed only when the well is pumping. The chlorinator was just recently put back on line after not being used for two.months. The pH adjustment was installed in November of 1994. Safety and testing equipment are present in the pump house. 4. OPERATOR CERTIFICATION (1) Treatment Operators (required for all systems with treatment) (a) Name of Operator: John Wittenzellner (b) Company: AT&S (c) Certification Number: 91177 5. PUBLIC HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS Section 19-13-B102(7)(M) - Daily chlorine residual tests Section 19-13-13102(7)(N) - Daily pH tests 6. CONCLUSIONS/FOLLOW UP ACTIONS a) If there is no intention for it's use, well #3 must be physically disconnected from the system and properly abandoned. If the well is to be put into use, a Microscopic Particulate Analysis study must.be done due to the well's proximity to the pond. If the utility is considering this option, please contact this office for further discussion of the MPA study. This office however, doesn't recommend this option due to the poor aesthetic quality of the water from well #3 and the cost of the MIA study. We highly recommend abandoning the well. b) According to the Public Health Code utilities must take daily chlorine residual and pH tests whenever those parameters are artificially adjusted. The water at Avery Heights is naturally corrosive, which was exemplified by the copper exceedance. This will also be a concern because of the asbestos-cement piping in the distribution system. The pH values will have to be monitored very closely, and may have to be reevaluated after asbestos testing is submitted_this year. Avery Heights must take these readings daily and submit the results to this office on a monthly basis. c) The chemical feed pump for the potassium hydroxide is currently being used at its maximum feed rate. This is not good practice and could lead to early pump failure. There is also no way to increase the feed rate if needed, due to the pump already being at it's maximum. Ideally the pump should be set to feed near the middle of it's range to allow for adjustment in either direction. d) Hose bibb vacuum breakers must be installed on all threaded taps in the pump house. A hose used for make up water for the chemical tanks is currently installed on a tap with no vacuum breaker. This is a direct cross connection and could lead to backsiphonage of chemicals into the potable water. e) The storage tanks and valve exteriors are starting to rust and corrode. These areas should be resurfaced with a rust inhibiting paint. Avery Heights must contact this office prior to March 31, 1995 to discuss how and when the above items will be addressed. If there are any other questions feel free to call.

Total coliforms are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria in drinking water, however, generally is a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the water may be contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Disease symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, and any associated headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however, are not just associated with disease-causing organisms in drinking water, but also may be caused by a number of factors other than your drinking water. EPA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for total coliforms to reduce the risk of these 'adverse health effects. Drinking water which meets this standard is usually not associated with a health risk from disease-causing bacteria and should be considered safe. Effective December 31, 1990.

South Windsor, CT: Inspection Robert Conway, Pres. SUBJECT: of the Avery Heights Water 258 Benedict Drive Association on April 3, 1992 South Windsor, CT cc: DOH O. Robert Deptula Cliff McClellan L, From: Sanitary Engineer Water Supplies Section Water Quality: The water quality from Well #1 has historically met all water quality standards. The well pump was replaced in the fall of 1991 and the association temporarily went to the Manchester Water Department interconnection for its water. Avery began experiencing sporadic coliform problems from the well and in the distribution. Rechlorination of the well and the temporary installation of a hypochlorinator has eliminated the coliform problem at this time. The chlorinator is now off-line. Well #3 is a back-up source only. It has high levels of iron and iron bacteria and is not aesthetically acceptable without treatment. General Description: This 216 home subdivision is primarily served by one gravel packed well. The well pumps directly into a 15,500 gallon pressure tank with a working pressure of 50-67 psi. Because of the well's low ph a phosphate solution is injected ahead of storage. Back-up Well #3 is also piped into the storage tank and is manually valved-off. Conclusion and Recommendations: 1. The pH ranges in the distribution system are 6.9 - 7.1. These pH readings may still yield water with aggressive tendencies in the distribution system. This condition should be evaluated because of the asbestos concrete (a-c) pipe that is in the system. The purpose of the addition of a hexametaphosphate is to sequester elements such as iron so that they do not precipitate out of the water onto the surfaces of the pipes, and for corrosion control. The effectiveness of this treatment should be seriously evaluated.. 2. The air break pipe in the drain line for Well #1 should be screened. 3. Per code requirements, weekly meter readings and pH levels shall be recorded and retained for reference. Until the increased chemical injection has been stabilized, daily pH levels should be taken. -2- SOUTH WINDSOR, CT: INSPECTION OF THE AVERY HEIGHTS WATER ASSOCIATION ON APRIL 3, 1992 4. The storage tanks and valve exteriors are exhibiting corrosion and should be resurfaced. 5. The floor of the tank house i"s becoming dirty and littered, and should be cleaned. 6. Completion of the electrical hook-up to the town's sewage pump station for standby power should be prioritized. 7. Well #3 should be exercised quarterly to prevent excessive sediment build-up in the pump and well itself. Should Avery Heights have any questions, please feel free to call this office.

Two samples taken at the well house on March 5, 1992, one raw and one treated (phosphate), confirmed positive for coliform bacteria. If, in fact, the well is being contaminated we must find out now so corrective or alternate measures can be instituted. Immediate steps must be taken now, within the week, to chlorinate the well, storage tank and distribution system. Public Notice pursuant to our VIOLATION NOTICE of December 30, 1991 to Ms. Zizzamian must still be done.

Bob Deptula, Sanit. Sanitary En veer Town Hall Water Supplies Section South Windsor, CT 06074 From: INSPECTED WITH: Bob Conway GENERAL A single gravel pack well (well #1) is presently serving 216 single family homes. There exists two other wells that are not in service at this time. Well #3 is operational, however, due to elevated iron levels and offensive odors, the well is not being utilized. The distributionsystem mainly consists of asbestos - cement pipe. Sodium hexametaphosphate is added to the water prior to storage in an effort to reduce corrosion of the distribution system. WATER QUALITY Samples collected the day of inspection from well #1 and analyzed for coliform bacteria, physical, sanitary chemical,and inorganic paramaters indicated the water was in compliance with the Public Health Code Section 19-13-B102 for the above mentioned parameters. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1) A hose bib backflow preventor should be placed on the water line used to fill the "day tank" that has the sodium hexametaphosphate solution. A backflow preventor is required by the Public Health Code Section 19-13-B38f. 2) There is concern by the water association that during high demand periods well #1 may not be able to provide the necessary water to meet the system demands. There does exist an interconnection with the Manchester Water Department for emergency situations, however, the association would like to remain as independent as possible. There has been some thought by the association to construct a iron removal system for application at well #3. Well #3 has a present pumping rate of 160 gpm, this would require a significantly large iron removal system. An alternate solution might be to look into the possibilities of drilling a well in a closer proximity to well #1 that will be capable of producing approximately 50 gpm. A well of this magnitude will not be able to sustain the system on its own but rather contribute to the existing well and thus avoid any water shortages during high use periods. This alternative will be less costly and require less maintainance than a filter system. If the association wishes to explore the possibilities of an additional well discussed above, please contact this office so we may determine if a suitable well site is available. INSPECTION OF THE AVERY HEIGHTS PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM ON JANUARY 7, 1989. 3) Should the association wish to install the iron removal system for well #3, plans and specifications must be forwarded to this office for review prior to any construction. 4) Public Health Code Section 19-13-B102(I) states that wherever a water utility adds phosphates to the water they must perform weekly tests to determine the phosphate level. The results of this test should be recorded with the other pump house data and kept for future reference. If there are any questions in regards to this report or if you feel this office may be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call.

Water samples were collected on November 6, 1986 and February 23, 1987. WATER QUALITY: Until November 1986, Avery Heights Water Association produced water from Wells #1 and #3. During our inspection on November 6th, raw water from Wells #1 and #3 were sampled for bacteriological, physical, chemical, and metals parameters. Well #3 was also sampled for the presence of organohalides and hydrocarbons. Samples collected from Well #1 met all limits for potable supplies specified in the Connecticut Public Health Code, but samples collected from Well #3 showed high levels of iron and manganese and unsatisfactory color, odor, and turbidity. Further analysis of samples collected February 23 showed the presence of Gallionella (iron bacteria) in Well #3 at a concentration greater than 10,000 per 100 milliliters. The Gallionella are probably responsible for the odor detected by Avery Heights residents. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Avery Heights Water Association is presently satisfying demand solely with Well #1. Additional water, should it become necessary, is available via the interconnection with Manchester Water Company. 2. Well #3 should not be utilized unless the unsatisfactory odor has been eliminated. If the utility wishes to utilize Well #3, it must first pump water from the well, to be discharged to waste, for at least 24 hours, then collect a water sample which shall, upon analysis, demonstrate that water from Well #3 meets bacteriological, physical, and sanitary chemical limits specified in the Connecticut Public Health Code. Please contact this office prior to bringing Well #3 on line. The Gallionella may be treated by chlorination. Contact this office for information on the proper procedure. 3. Even if chlorination successfully eliminates the Gallionella, the presence of elevated concentrations of iron and manganese in Well #3 may provide a continuing source of staining and/or odor complaints. The Avery Heights Water Association may wish to consider installing an iron and manganese removal system. This office will advise and must, in fact, review any proposals for an iron/manganese treatment system prior to construction. SOUTH WINDSOR, CT: INVESTIGATION OF ODOR AND STAINING COMPLAINTS AT AVERY HEIGHTS PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY ON NOVEMBER 6, 1986 This office should also be advised if Avery Heights Water Association decides to develop an additional source of supply. 4. The utility should establish a program to flush all water mains periodically. Water mains should be flushed at least yearly, preferably in the spring. 5. The utility is currently injecting Aquadene into Well #1 to sequester iron and manganese although samples collected from Well #1 on November 6 contained no iron and only 0.01 milligrams per liter manganese. The utility may wish to discontinue injecting Aquadene, or to substitute other phosphate compounds if continued corrosion control is desired.

The water sample taken by the State was done on September 15 , 1986 as part of their normal routine testing. The sample for Newlands Laboratory was taken on October 23 , 1986 . The Newlands test was done because the State did not test for manganese . We have been advised that the test result for the manganese (1. 7) is about 30 times normal. We 've been further advised that this is most likely the cause of our spotted wash and the brown layer formed in- side our dishwasher. It is our feeling that regardless of what is causing the problem) something will have to be done to correct it . Please send us a copy of the consultant 's report you had clone recently which you indicated found no abnormal- ities . Would you also keep us informed about any new developments or test results.

STATE Of I;„ (Yes=1; No=2) November 6 , 1986 MEMORANDUM To : Richard J . Sartor , Town Manager Re: Avery Heights Water Association Approximately ten days ago , this office received several inquiries regarding sediment problems associated with Avery Heights water . These were followed in time by additional inquiries and complaints regarding odor problems experienced by users of the supply . The water company had been providing its users a mixture of water from Well Number One and Well Number Three. On October 25 , 1986 , Well One had to be shut down due to a mechanical problem. Consequently , all water to the system came from Well Number Three. According to the State Health Department (who has statutory jurisdiction over public water supplies ) , Well Number Three has historically been plagued by periodic odor problems . This generally has not been noticed , due to the mixing with water from Well Number One . However , when Well One was taken off line , the entire system was supplied by Well Number Three. Unfortunately , the "musty" odor problem was present in the supply at that time . The iron and maganese level of this supply is apparently elevated also. On November 3 , 1986 , Well Number One was again in service and put back on line. Since that time , the system was supplied with water from Well Number One . Due to the large size of the water storage tank involved (10 ,000 - 15 ,000 gallons ) , it may take some time for the odiferous water from Well Number Three not to have an effect on the supply . Recently , several people have stated that the odor problem is dissapating . On November 6 , 1986 , the State Health Department conducted an inspection of the water system and found no problems with the mechanical operation . At this time , water samples were collected by the State for laboratory analysis from Well Number One and Well Number Three . This analysis will try to determine the cause of the odor problem from Well Number Three. The State does not feel that this is presently an unsafe supply . This department has reviewed laboratory analysis data for the last two quarterly samples , and has found them to be in compliance with potable water standards . Robert Dep ula, R .S .

The bacteriological sample I obtained on May 8, 1986 also met Public Health Code limits. On May 9, 1986 this office gave verbal approval to Avery Heights to utilize the new tank contingent upon acceptable sanitary chemistry results. In .view of acceptable sanitary chemistry results (as well as the other acceptable results noted above) in conjunction with my inspection on May 8, 1986, you have fulfilled all requirements for system approval as stipulated in the system review and approval to construct dated April 29, 1986. I hereby authorize you to continue use of the new storage tank and final approval is granted. Should questions arise, please call this office.

Results beyond -ecommended limits is not reason for rejection for a potable supply. pH - (Recommended Limit - 6.4-8.5 pH units) '.. Alkalinity - (Recommended Limit .50-100 mg/1) Hardness - (Recommended Limit 50-100 mg/1) When determining the corrosiveness or scale forming properties of well water, the pH, Alkalinity and Hardness are taken into consideration. If well water falls within these limits, there is usually no need for any type of treatment. Sodium and Chlorides - (Recommended Limits 20.0 and 30.0 mg/1) Sodium is frequently combined with chloride in water as salt. When chloride is above 30 mg/l, sodium is tested. Well water near the ocean will have high salt levels. The salting of roads, storage of salt and water that has been softened will cause water to have high sodium levels. Since standard water treatment methods do not remove sodium, more expensive techniques similar to nitrate removal may be required. Color - (Recommended Limit - 15 PCU) - See iron and manganese. odor - (Reccn-mended Limit - 0 (none) ) Most organic and some inorganic chemicals contribute to odor. They may originate from municipal and industrial waste discharges, from natural sources (decomposition of vegetable matter) or from associated microbial activity. The most common odor in well water is from vegetable matter decomposition. The smell resembles rotten eggs and is usually fran hydrogen sulfide. An activated carbon filter will normally eliminate these odors. • Turbidity - (Recommended Limit - 5 NTU) - See iron and manganese. • Nitrate and Nitrite - (Acceptable Limits - 10.0 and 1.0 mg/1) Nitrates get into well water from sewage disposal and from fertilizers. The best form of control is removal of the source. Removal by treatment is expensive and sometimes impossible. • Ammonia - (Recommended Limit - <0.05 mg/1) Ammonia levels in excess may result from recent contamination by decaying vegetable or other organic matter. Small levels are naturally present in water. In evaluating the cause of contamination, the laboratory will make use of other testing data (nitrate, nitrite, MBAS, coliform, etc.) . • Detergent Pollution - (Acceptable Limit <0.5 mg/1) Detergent pollution is indicated by the MBAS test. Detergent in well water frequently canes from poor sewage disposal methods in the vicinity of the well. The cause of detergent pollution must always be corrected. They can be removed by activated carbon filters. Iron and Manganese - (Recommended Limits 0.3 and 0.05 mg/1) High iron and manganese levels may be caused by rusty pipes, water storage tanks or pumps. High levels will -cause the turbidity and color levels to rise above the recommended levels. In some cases, new wells will be turbid and orange in color. This is usually temporary and will dissipate upon continuous usage of the water. In same areas, high iron levels are naturally occurring and sane type of treatment may be required. Manganese is tested only if the iron is greater than 0.3 mg/l. Coliform Organisms - (Acceptable Limit <2.2/100 ml) The presence of harmful bacteria discharged in the waste excretions of humans and animals is indicated by the laboratory test .for coliform organisms. Their presence in excessive amounts is evidence the water may have been contaminated by sewage discharge and may contain dangerous disease-producing organisms. Whenever a well is contaminated by coliform organisms, the cause must be located and corrected. 7' P0TABLa�WIATER"CUL C1'ION/ �s Section for Lab. Division.Use EXAMINATION REPORT L LABORATORY NO.

There was very little difference between the raw and treated water qualities. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Form the laboratory results of this inspection plus raw water samples collected on 1/75,•3/75, 1/77 and 5/78 it appears that chlorination is-not necessary as a disinfectant for Well #1. If the utility desires, chlori- nation may be discontinued at that well. It should be noted however that should Well #2 be reconnected, water samples must be analyzed for bacteria content before hand. Overall the system appeared well maintained and secured. Records for chlorine and phosphate additions were properly logged. The utility is asked to contact this office with its decision regarding chlorination.
