Tests in d icate L exin gton 's
drinking w ater safe
Residents of the town of
Lexington received their water
quality report for 1998 with their
water billing for the end of
September, according to a town
of Lexington news release.
Last year the Environmental
Protection Agency required any
entity serving more than 25
water customers to inform their
customers of the quality of water
that was being provided so that
customers with particular health
needs could determine if the
water they were drinking could
contribute to their health
problems or other concerns.
The town reports that of the
many contaminants tested for,
none are over the acceptable
limits determined by the EPA
and most are well below the
acceptable limits, said the
release. The tests do show that
the town has a small amount of
natural fluonde in the water. The
town also has an "unusually high
amount of magnesium" which,
according to the release, is more
of a problem with sediment in
the
pipes
and
perhaps
contributes to the bad taste in the
airport well water. Sodium is
also "unusually high", at 39
milligrams per liter at the airport
well and 23 milligrams per liter
at the cemetery well. There is a
trace amount of barium, lead and
COPY PAPER
copper Lead and copper test
results are from 1997 and the
major contamination comes
from corrosion of household
plumbing, they said. There were
no volatile organic or synthetic
organic contaminants detected.
Each month a col i form test is
taken and in July 1998 the total
coliform test was above the
desired level, but there was no
fecal
coliform
found.
Chlorination of the water solved
the problem as none was found
with further testing, they said.
According to the release, the
first samples could have been
contaminated by the method of
taking
the
sample,
not
chlorinating
the
water
sufficiently or by repairs being
made to the system and a small
amount of dirt entering the pipe.
At the time of the problem, two
samples were clean and three
samples tested above for total
coliform, said the release.
According to the release, the
town council hopes that with the
water system upgrade many of
the town's water problems will
improve.
For copies of the report,
contact Jean Brazell at the
Lexington Town Hall.
For further information about
water contaminants, call the
EPA's Safe Drinking Water
Hotline at 800-426-4791.

CARD OF TH A N KS
Thank you everyone for your
prayers, cards and phone calls for
me after the accident on 1-84,
Sept. 2 5 .1 am so thankful to live
in this small community of Hepp
ner with so much love and care.
God wasn’t ready for me yet.

Dear Friends,
It’s been a wonderful life
experience, to have lived in
Heppner and made so many dear
friends these last seven years.
Mike and I will miss the
community, and the home you
made for us here. To my
Chamber of Commerce and
Heppner Coordinating Council
buddies: you all do so much for
the community, it’s been an
honor to know you. Heppner is a
special place because of your
efforts. Claudia, the Chamber
would be lost without you.
So many communities are
critical of, and even hostile
toward, the Forest Service these
days. Working in that sort of
difficult environment would be
very draining and has to make
things less productive. Heppner’s
resolve to work together, build
things up, rather than tear things
(or people) down, is one of its
strongest attributes and makes it
such a successful community.
It’s been a blessing to have your
support, your interest, your
constructive criticisms offered in
a healthy way. The employees at
the Heppner Ranger District are
the most dedicated land stewards
I’ve ever worked with, and I hope
that you continue to show them
your support as you’ve supported
me. A1 Scott will be Acting
District Ranger for several
months, until a permanent re
placement for me is selected.
I’m leaving to take on new
challenges, and broader respon
sibilities in some ways. I know
what I’ve learned here will serve
me well in my new position. I’m
happy that I’ll still be working for
the Umatilla National Forest and
staying in the beautiful Blue
Mountains, which I’ve truly
come to love. The nice part of
moving only as far as Pendleton
is that I’ll be able to come back
and visit for St. Pat’s and Fair and
Rodeo. I hope you don’t run out
of green beer before then!
Again, it’s been a true honor to
be your District Ranger. Thank
you all for everything.
