Officials review Stamford Elementary’s water-source protections and testing requirements
Summary
State staff told the commission the elementary school's groundwater system (ID 6770) is a non-transient noncommunity source with a 500-foot source-protection radius and that the water system is responsible for mandatory sampling and testing.
Commissioners asked whether the Stamford Elementary School is responsible for testing its water. The presenter said yes: "It's the school it it's the water system's responsibility, and the water system pays the fees for that test." She read the school's water-system summary: "That's that's 6770. It's a groundwater system. Population that you're permitted to serve is 310. You're active and since 1989." The presenter explained the school's source-protection area is a fixed-radius calculation and noted isolation distances (minimum 200-foot control zone) apply to the intake.
The presenter recommended the commission show public water systems and source-protection areas on the town's water-resource map and include them in the hazard-mitigation plan so the town is eligible for emergency funding when repairs or mitigation are needed.
