  4. Water contamination update in West Lebanon Twp.

    During routine sampling conducted on 10/28/2011, Tetrachoroethene (PCE) has been found in West Lebanon Township Municipal Public Water Supply (PWS) Well #2. PCE was absent during routine sampling by West Lebanon Township conducted during August 2011.  However, during the next sampling collected the following October, PCE was found at the system distribution point at a concentration in excess of levels allowed by the PA DEP .  In response, the water supply system was immediately shut down and an interconnection with the City of Lebanon water supply was activated. Immediately following receipt of the laboratory analyses, West Lebanon Township resampled the system, and determined that  Municipal Well #2 was the point where PCE was entering the municipal system. Subsequently, West Lebanon Township hired Geological Services, Inc. (GSI) of Rock Hall, MD to develop a plan to restore use of Well #2 and to determine the source of contamination impacting the well.
