Nitrogen), and chlorides.

     On a monthly basis, samples are taken from the same places by

the same method and collected in 500 ml polypropylene bottles with

polyethylene caps. These samples have no preservatives in them and

are analyzed for pH, electrical conductance, alkalinity, total

hardness, sodium, total phosphorous, Biological Oxygen Demand5,

Chemical Oxygen Demand, and fluorescence.

      Flow rates to the various places are measured through the use

of  a quick    disconnect  value  located  on each   of the three

destination lines.    The lines are disconnected beyond the gate

valves and a regular garden hose is then connected to it. A bucket

is then filled up for a minute from each of the three destination

lines and the total volume is measured in gallons giving us a flow

rate in gallons/minute.
