Water warriors Cooperative efforts keep safe water available for base residents
Staff Sgt. BillyWince, 81st Aerospace Medicine Squadron, tests a water sample from a well in East Falcon Park Monday. The Mississippi State Department of Health issued a boil-water notice for the base Feb. 21. Ten routine samples are sent to the MSDH lab each month. When one sample tested positive for coliform, the base was required to submit 24 samples free of total coliform for two consecutive days for the boil water notice to be lifted. As of Tuesday, the notice remained in effect. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
