The Cheneyville water system is again advising customers and users of a system shortcoming, now corrected.

Officials note there is no public health emergency or need to boil water but point out some health issues are possible.

The problem was a failure to properly treat residential drinking water in May and June, a shortcoming detected in Dept. of Health regular sampling and testing.

Treated drinking water poses little or no risks to users’ health. Untreated water is another story.

The system’s failure to provide minimum residential water disinfecting was due to error in the system calibration, officials said.

That has been corrected and minimum treatment levels returned in the July sampling.

Back in June officials notified customers and the public of different shortcomings detected by health officials.

Responding, the system replaced a mesh screen over the overflow pipe in May.

With passage of a cross connection ordinance by the town council, plans are to have it fully implemented by early December, correcting the other deficiency.
