Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0\u00a0A testing last Thursday\u00a0 of water samples taking from\u00a0a Jamestown site,\u00a0has found\u00a0 no trace of coliform bacteria.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Utilities Operations Manager, Steve Suko says, samples from from Casey\u2019s General Store at 1003 13th Street Northeast in Jamestown\u00a0\u00a0in June this year,\u00a0 tested positive for the bacteria by the North Dakota Department of Health.<\/p>\n
Suko says nine additional samples were taken after the two positive tests. Four were taken in the store and five from surrounding businesses, with\u00a0 tests negative.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Water from that location will continue to be tested twice a month as part of routine water safety monitoring.<\/p>\n
The two positive tests prompted the Jamestown Water Department to send letters and run public notice advertisements alerting the public of the problem.<\/p>\n
Coliform\u00a0while harmless,\u00a0can be an indication of other potentially harmful bacteria in the water system.<\/p>\n
Residents were not\u00a0advised\u00a0 to boil their water,\u00a0however\u00a0\u00a0individuals with compromised immune systems\u00a0were advised to\u00a0consult with a physician concerning the risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
