EPA v. Bedrock/Babb Water System
Final Order No Penalty
Case summary
The Bedrock/Babb public water system had a mechanical issue with the well causing a loss of pressure. Loss of pressure in a drinking water distribution system may cause backsiphonage, which can allow disease causing organisms to enter the distribution system. The System provided an alternative source of water and post/deliver boil water advisory; after completing corrective action on the well, they flushed and disinfected the system. The system is then required to take daily total coliform samples.
