Sunilandings Utilities Inc. Receivership owns and operates 1 groundwater well. The system serves a semi-resort community with 34 connections. We have about 8 permanent residences the others come on various weekends and holidays.
A. RAW WATER SAMPLING
We are not required to take raw water samples.
B. IN-PLANT SAMPLING
We only use groundwater and only treat with chlorine therefore we do not need to monitor anything within the plant (Page 7, TCEQ pub RG-384)
C. ENTRY POINT SAMPLING

Our system uses free chlorine in the distribution system.
a. Frequency: Disinfectant residual is measured once every 7 days.
b. Location: At the pressure tap prior near the well head.
c. Method: Chlorine is measured using a Hatch Pocket Colorimeter / DPD.
d. Compliance Calculations: The system is in compliance if the free chlorine residual entering the distribution system is over 0.2 mg/l
a. Frequency: The TCEQ’s sampling contractor collects these samples.
b. Location: The contaminant concentrations for the entry point are measured at the sample tap at the pressure tap near the well head.
c. Method: Samples are sent to a certified lab, Victoria City-County Health Department, certification No. 48027-2001A by TCEQ’s sampling contractor.
D: Compliance calculations: If the concentrations of contaminants are less than the regulatory compliance, the TCEQ will inform us of the violations. Copies of any violations will be attached to the back of this monitoring plan.
We do not use chlorine dioxide.
We do not use chlorite.
We do not use bromate.
D. Distribution System Sampling
The distribution system consists of 34 connections. The system has one (1) well. The water is disinfected with free chlorine. Water is stored in a 2500 gallon pressure tank. The water from the pressure feeds the distribution lines to the customers.
1. Coliform Samples
a. Frequency: We collect one coliform sample each month. We rotate through the sample sites below.
b. Location: The sample is taken from outside taps from the following:
1. Lot 230
Warsaw Landing, Mark Blanchard
2. Lot 86 Paul Maykuth
3. 62 Tuna Trail, Wally & Jane Horn
4. Lot 317 Redfish Lane, Joann Cameron
5. Lot 79 Redfish Lane, Jesse Wood.
c. Method: Coliform samples are taken to:
d. Compliance Calculations: The system is in compliance if:
§ no repeat samples are fecal or E. coli positive,
§ no repeat following a fecal or E. coli positive routine sample is for total coliform,
§ no more than one of the routine samples are total coliform positive
§ and none of the repeats are fecal or E. coli positive.
2. Disinfectant Residual-Free Chlorine
a. Frequency: The disinfectant residual is measured at the same time as microbial samples. The disinfectant residual is also measured once every seven days, rotating through the sample sites.
b. Location: The disinfectant residual is measured at the same place the microbial sample is taken, plus four additional sites representing the whole distribution system.
c. Method: Chlorine is measured using a Hatch Pocket Colorimeter / DPD.
d. Compliance Calculations: The system is in compliance with the minimum residual requirement if the free chlorine residual throughout the distribution system is always greater than 0.2 mg/L. The system is in compliance with the maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) if the running annual average of all samples taken in the distribution system is less than 4.o mg/L.
3. Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) – TTHM and HAA5
a. Frequency: The TCEQ’s sampling contractor collects these samples. Letters informing us of changes in sampling schedule are attached to the back of this monitoring plan.
b. Location: The sample is collected from the outside top one of the 5 samples sites as the contractor wishes.
c. Method: Samples are taken to a certified lab by the TCEQ’s sampling contractor.
d. Compliance Calculations: The system is in compliance if the running annual average of all samples is less than the maximum contaminant level. The TCEQ will notify us of any violations.
4. Lead-Copper
We take samples for lead & copper whenever we receive the bottles from TCEQ.
5. Asbestos
The TCEQ has never mentioned asbestos to my knowledge.
6. Chlorine Dioxide
We do not use chlorine dioxide.
7. Chlorite
We do not use chlorite.
E. Lab Approval Form
We have no lab approval form as we assume that since several cities take their samples to the Victoria City-County Health Department, certification No. 48027-2001A, and our lab is pre-approved.
