Dear Ms.Fox:
Please find the enclosed copy of the analytical results for the drinking water sample collected from
the above-referenced property.The sample was collected from an outside tap.The water sample
was collected by a Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP)representative on April
18,2017 and was analyzed at the Department of Public Health (DPH)Laboratory for general chemistry
parameters,including sodium and chloride.The sample was collected to help DEEP evaluate potential
sources of sodium and chloride in your drinking water well.ln the water sample that was collected,
the following compounds were detected at the levels indicated below:
The sample collected from your kitchen sink indicates sodium and chloride are elevated above
background levels,but below limits considered safe for drinking water supplies.Based on these
results,your water supply is potable with respect to those constituents tested.The results are
attached.
DEEP will continue to work with the Town of South Windsor to monitor sodium and chloride levels in
your neighborhood and may request to collect additional samples from your well.lf you have any
further questions regarding these results,you may contact me at (860)418—5955.You may also
