requested on behalf of the company and the company's consumers that the City Council act on this matter as expeditiously as possible. TRINITY WATER COMPANY By /s/ Harry V. Roquet, President 24/35 cc: Environmental Health Services Department, San Bernardino, California; State Department of Public Health, San Bernardino, California COPY Department of Health Water Sanitation Section Room 209 State Building 303 West Third Street San Bernardino, California 92401 City of Colton Gentlemen: October 1, 1974 Mr. Young has requested a letter from this department commenting on the proposal in the September 30, 1974 letter to the City from Mr. Roquet, Trinity Water Company. Mr. Roquet proposed to : 1) turn the distribution system over to Colton to provide domestic water; and 2)provide an arrangement whereby Colton would have access to water from the 210,000 gallon storage tank which would remain connected to the high nitrate well. This proposal would not be acceptable to this department on a permanent basis unless a physical separation was maintained between facilities producing or containing the high nitrate water and the domestic system s erved by Colton. If it became necessary to use the unapproved high nitrate water in an ermergency, the consumers would have to be notified of the health hazard. On an interim, temporary basis only we would permit the interconnection to be maintained with a closed gate valve separating the systems. This alternative would be allowed only for a short time period in order to provide the consumers in the area with a satisfactory quality water while negotiations toward a satisfactory settlement are conducted by Colton and the Trinity Water Company. Very truly yours, /s / C. E. Anderson District Engineer cc: San Bernardino Co. Dept. Env. Health Svcs. Trinity Water Company - Attn: Mr. H. Roquet OCT 11974
