System failed to sample quarterly for coliform bacteria since early 1998, annualy for nitrate since 1997, and once for nitrite since 1993.  AO requires system to notify the public by 5/31/02 of the failures to monitor, and to monitor for nitrate, nitrite, and coliform bacteria by 5/31/02, and coliform bacteria for the 7-9/02 quarter.  System complied with the terms of the order except for not collecting repeat samles following the 8/22/02 positive total coliform bacteria sample result, and any of the 5 routine samples required the next month after a positive sample.
