1 -16- . 2 .Army' s Agreement .to. Submit to State Su ervision- of Water .Contamination . 3 Clean Up Should Benefit St. Anthony 4 Mr. Childs gave the reasons he . perceived the above action .announced .at- 5 the July 21st press conference- would be of value to St. Anthony. 6 However; he also reported the fact that the standards for water quality 7 -had been lowered made it even- more imperative that the carbon. filtration . 8 system be installed on- the City' s water supply as soon as possible 9 because, under the new' standards to be implemented in 18 months, one of 10 the City wells would be above and one below- the limit of contaminants 11 allowed. The MPCA is -applying pressure on the EPA to release already 12 approved .funds for the carbon filtration system so St. Anthony will be 13 able to meet those standards when they are implemented.. Mr. Childs 14 indicated it would be up to the City to encourage Congressman Sabo -and 15 other Congressmen to apply further pressure to get the money for the 16 system freed up. 17 The City Manager indicated MPCA had helped move the project schedule up 18 by convincing EPA that they should go along with a pressurized system 19 rather than waste time studying other systems. He said barring further 20 red tape in getting the money, and with from six to eight months needed 21 to design the facility and around 3 months to get the design approved 22 and to take bids , construction should start some time next spring. 23 First Budget Planning Session Scheduled for August 26th • 24 The above work session was set for 7 : 00 P.M. that Wednesday evening and 25 the Manager promised to send reminders in advance. 26 NEW BUSINESS 27 NEW COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CONTRACT AUTHORIZED WITH HENNEPIN 28 COUNTY 29 A copy of the proposed resolution authorizing the execution. of a new 30 three year joint cooperation agreement which qualifies the City for 31 participation in the County' s CDBG program had been distributed before 32 the meeting. 33 Council .
