Water System: Total Coliform Non-Sampling Violation  Our contracted certified water operator didn't renew his certification on August 31st, and subsequently took samples in September.  We didn't discover this problem until October and the September sample was deemed invalid.  He renewed his certification immediately upon being aware of the problem and we are now in compliance.
