Motion by Councilman Hornthal, seconded by Coun cilman Hollowelll, unanimously carried naming the new softball field “Earnhardt Field” in honor of W.J.P. Earnhardt, Jr., who serve as Town Attorney for disease-producing bacteria in drinking water, coliform bacteria is normally found in the intestinal tract of man or other warm blooded animals, can be readily detected, and its presence is used to indicate that some contamination has oc curred. The public has a right to know the quality of the water it drinks; therefore, when drinking water samples from a system contain coliform bacteria in excess of the maximum contaminant level the customers need to be aware that this has occurred. Exceeding the limit one month does not necessarily mean there is a drinking water emergency; that depends on the source of the problem and how quickly the utility corrects the problem Customers should contact their utility to en sure that the situation has been investigated and properly corrected. Several public water supplies in this area ex ceeded the maximum contaminant for coliform bacteria in October and have not advised the Department of Human Resources that proper public notice was given. They are Town of Kelford, and White’s Beach in Bertie County and Town of Gatesville and Sunbury Water Works in Gates County. Public water supplies at White’s Beach have also "exceeded the 4 maximum contaminant level for two or more months, indicating that the problem has not been corrected, that con tamination has recurred, or that the system may have a serious sanitary defect. Continued bacteriological contamination may con stitute a hazard to the health of the customers. Customers of these systems may desire to take individual protective action until the con tamination is corrected or it is proven that there is no health risk; Education isn’t complete if all that the student gets is a trained mind. fourteen yean.
