FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES June 9, 2004 -2- John Zanmiller, St. Paul Regional Water Services Board of Water Commissioners (continued) Mr. Zanmiller said that nutrients in the lake reservoir system are being reduced by placing four aerators in two of the lakes, restoring four wetlands and installing a ferric chloride feed system. The next phase, in spring, 2006, will be to install granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, which, due to adsorptive capacity, are highly effective at removing taste and odor compounds. The utility is also having conversations with the City of Minneapolis about an interconnect between the two utilities. Council member Lindstrom commented that this morning power was lost in much of the City and the tower that provides water to the City. What about plans for a simple electrical outage? Mr. Zanmiller said that duplicity of systems is important in being able to reroute. The utility plant is staffed 24 hours a day. Mr. Zanmiller said that if people wish to contact him they may leave a message at 651-552-4100 and he will return the call as quickly as possible.
