13. Field tests conducted on April 7 and April 29, 1988, <br />revealed that the effective free chlorine residual in <br />the distribution system was below 0.2 mg/l. The <br />inspection of the chlorination system revealed that a <br />single gas chlorinator is in use. A review of previous <br />monthly operating reports submitted to the department <br />has revealed that the chlorine demand has exceeded ten <br />(10) pounds per 24 hours during the peak capacity months <br />in the park. Pursuant to Chapter 17-22.620 (4) (a), <br />Florida Administrative Code, the department believes <br />that a dual gas chlorination system should be installed <br />to accommodate chlorine demand. <br />14. There is an accumulation of over thirty (30) empty <br />fifteen (15) gallon sulfuric acid barrels located at the <br />water plant. The barrels need to be returned to the <br />distributor or removed to an approved site. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTION: Due to the nature and poor condition of <br />the potable water system, you are hereby ordered to connect <br />to the available existing potable water system provided by <br />Indian River County Utilities within sixty (60) days upon <br />receipt of this notice, per County Ordinance 84-18. <br />Additionally, you are required to immediately provide potable <br />drinking water which meets secondary contaminant standards <br />set forth by Chapter 17-22, Florida Administrative Code, upon <br />receipt of this notice. <br />Failure to correctthese' violations within the above time <br />period may result in a summons to appear before the Indian <br />River County Environmental Control Hearing Board or Circuit <br />Court and subject you to a fine of up to five -hundred ($500) <br />dollars per day, per violation.

P. H. <br />Environmental Health Director <br />• <br />y Barton <br />Assistant Utilities <br />Director <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that subsequent to this, their <br />permeator blew up yesterday, and now they are basically serving <br />raw water chlorinated out of the deep aquifer, which means <br />chlorides in the range of 11-1200 parts per million; so, we have <br />noticed everyone that they should not be drinking it, and the <br />mobile home community has hired their own attorney to pursue a <br />remedy. The Chairman stressed that we are moving in every way we <br />possibly can to resolve the problem, and Utilities Director Pinto <br />and staff are on top of this doing everything that we can legally <br />to get safe drinking water into the community. <br />47 <br />MAY 10 1988 <br />BOOK 72 PAGE 327 <br />
