Water Public Notice
Dec 23, 2009 at 05:20 PM

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Tests Showed Coliform Bacteria in Barre Water

Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct this situation.  We routinely monitor for drinking water contaminants. We took twelve [12] samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria during December.  Two (2) of our samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than 1 sample per month/5 percent of samples may do so.   We re-sampled immediately and did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing.
