====== Testing ======

The Washington State Department of Health requires periodic testing of the water for coliform and nitrates.

===== Quarterly Testing =====
We must submit water samples quarterly for coliform. Typically the DOH would require these samples to be drawn from homes in the service area. However, Yodelin has received a variance from this that allows us to sample at the [[locations:pumphouse]] since to sample at home in the winter, the water operator would have to travel through avalanche terrain and also have unattended access to residents homes.

===== Annual Testing =====
We must submit water samples annually for nitrates. This is done by the water operator with samples from the [[locations:pumphouse]]
