We started having split samples taken years ago, thru the City Health Department, due to surcharges getting excessive. After we started the surcharges dropped considerably. Over the years, the surcharges dropped to nothing and we lost some of the Health Department personnel thru retirement, etc. Thus the sampling stopped several years ago. This past year we begin to receive high surcharge fees once again and it has almost forced us to go back to taking split samples. The surcharge fees have dropped since we reinitiated split samples and I will say that we have made a concerted effort to clean the test manhole before each test and minimize sewer jetting in the area on the days of the sampling (when possible). The person that is actually handling the split sampling for us is Lisa Mensing, Environmental Health Specialist, City of Richardson Health Department. Her email address is lisa.mensing@cor.gov and her phone number is 972. 744-4083. If I can help in any other way just let me know!
