It was determined in 1981 that it <br />would not be economically feasible, so a few other measure were taken <br />to insure the reliability of the one public well within the City). <br />Eder recommended to the Council deferring any consideration for the <br />second well as one of the considerations of the Landfill Committee is <br />for a public water supply. <br />(2) The City should consider installing permanent chlorination <br />equipment and maintaining a free chlorine residual of at least 0.2 to <br />0.5 milligrams per liter on all points of the distribution system. (We <br />do presently put one addative into the water - fluoride - to prevent <br />cavaties. 95 to 99 percent of the public water supplies also <br />chlorinate their water. Chlorination is not so much to kill bacteria <br />you have in the water, but is more of an insurance that when watermains <br />break, etc., chlorination provides a very low level disinfectant in the <br />water to insure that bacteria does not grow). Consensus of the Council <br />is not add chlorine to the public water system. <br />(3) The opportunity for additional training in water supply work <br />should be made available to the operator.
