your drinking water. We are required to complete this monitoring and make this
determination by (REQUIRED BIN DETERMINATION DATE). We (did not monitor or
test) or (did not complete all monitoring or testing) on schedule; therefore,
we may not be able to determine, by the required date, what treatment
modifications, if any, shall be made to ensure adequate Cryptosporidium
removal. Missing this deadline can, in turn, jeopardize our ability to have the
