CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS November 4th Staff Meeting Notes Mr. Childs answered several questions related to the above He told the Council there were replacements for the two reserves -who had left the Fire Department. A retirement party for Officer Puffer, is, being-planned. MPCA to Recommend EPA* Install a Carbon Filtration System on City Wells A draft of the MPCA staff recommendation concerning the above had been included in the Council 's agenda packet. Mr. Childs said the -document had been revised at least twice since they had gotten their .agendas.- However, the action had - been recommended by .the MPCA staff. Events as he expected them to follow would be: *.that the EPA would -approve a-one million dollar plus carbon filtration system on St. Anthony wells #3 and #4 and #5 and subsequent payment of 90% of the Operation and Maintenance costs for the next ten years; *that the MPCA Board would meet on December 16th, hopefully to authorize 10% match* for capital costs only;.- .*because the state would not 'be pa-ying any 0 & M costs, St. Anthony could expect to pick up the estimated $16,000. a year of those costs instead.' Mr. 'Childs -said the City would. probab ly be:the first City -�o get ten .years of 0 &..,M costs, paid. The 'justifications for that would include the fact that by oumpi'ng"-its own water, the' City could be:-perceived to be performing "a remedial , action for the grounidwater�" There would al.so be recognition that the -C-ity i's -experiencing increasing levels of, cohtaminants . ih its wells. The- Manager added that. when this process is complete, :the City woul-d- probably have the most- self-S"ufficient water system in-,the state because it would no longer have to :be concerned about its aquifer becomi.ng contaminated as some of .St:.'�Anthony's .neighbdrs may still- have to do.
