Mayor Dean Morehouse announced at last week’s Town Council that the town had received a “Notice of Violation” from the Virginia Department of Health regarding samples submitted for bacteriological testing in May.
District Engineer Joe Burner, who issued the violation notice, called the problem “borderline” and “transitory in nature.” He assured a reporter that “there is absolutely no cause for alarm. No one was in danger.”
Mr. Burner explained that the laboratory that tested the samples drawn in May used a different method from the one generally used to test chlorinated water. Using that method, several of the samples tested positive for coliform contamination. The number was greater than the average allowance of 10 percent, and under the law, required a violation notice.
