Based upon discussions with Genesee County and the city of Flint, the portion
of the 72-inch transmission main (pipeline) that was taken out of service, while
the Flint Water Treatment Plant (WTP) treated water from the Flint River, was
flushed and disinfected in accordance to AWWA Standard C651-14. Two sets
of samples were collected from two locations 16 hours apart for total coliform
analysis. The city of Flint and Genesee County has informed the DEQ that both
sets of samples are Non-Detect for total coliform. Based upon the disinfection
procedure and the absence of total coliform from both sets of samples, the
un-used portion of the pipeline may be placed into service.
