SUBJECT: Raspberry Falls – Raw Water Testing
Dear Mr. Hammes and Mr. Jennings:
In connection with, and to supplement, Loudoun Water's study of various options to provide safe and reliable water to Raspberry Falls residents, we intend to secure tests by an independent laboratory of water from the following sources:
1) The raw water being produced by Loudoun Water wells PW-2 and F at Raspberry Falls;
2) The raw water produced by the Loudoun Water wells supplying homes in the Selma development adjacent to Raspberry Falls (as one of the options is interconnection between the Raspberry Falls and Selma systems);
3) The raw water from any observation well within Raspberry Falls or Selma that are within Loudoun Water's control;
4) The treated water from the water storage tanks at Raspberry Falls and Selma; and
5) The treated wastewater from the Raspberry Falls treatment plant before it is discharged into the community stream.
We would appreciate if you would provide Mrs. Holly Krauss and Mr. Mitchell Zuckerman with the name and contact information for a Loudoun Water employee whom our laboratory can contact in order to obtain raw water from each of these wells.

Response per Mark Peterson to our request above: Loudoun Water would not allow us to test our water because of security, chain of evidence problems. He said no it would not be allowed. A Raspberry Falls resident reassured him that Loudoun Water would handle the samples and we would only use a certified EPA lab. We then asked him to formally respond to our written request and he said he would not. He said things must be prioritized and responding to our request to test our water is too low on the priority list.
