Event Description	The following information was received from the State of Texas via email: On March 26, 2014, the Agency [State of Texas - Department of State Health Services] received information that a source disconnect had occurred in November of the previous year. A subsequent report from the licensee received April 1, 2014 indicates that the disconnect occurred on November 12, 2013 at a temporary field site just west of Wink, Texas.
