-- --PLANNING--COMMISSION APRIL 16, -1991 - - - --- - Page 15 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL NEWSPAPER: 2 3 Commissioner Faust showed the Commission his Metropolitan 4 Council newspaper and inquired whether other 5 Commissioners also receive it.

Calgon had contributed drinking 15 glasses to the ceremony. 16 17 Commissioner Murphy asked about the possibility of 18 selling St. Anthony's water in bottled form for drinking 19 because it is so pure. City Manager Burt responded that 20 the possibility of selling water to other communities had 21 been investigated under the TCAAP plan, but such a plan 22 would probably not be feasible since St. Anthony will 23 continue to experience water shortages during high-use 24 periods, dry periods, and emergency situations. The 25 Federal government/E.P.A. design of the plant currently 26 does not meet St. Anthony's peak hourly capacity needs, 27 and the City will be in constant contact with the E.P.A. 28 office in Chicago to remedy that problem. Historical 29 records of the plant design and implementation are being 30 examined by Burt along with the P.C.A. and E.P.A. 31 officials to determine the source of the design error. 32 Sabo is aware of and supports St. Anthony's position in 33 the matter of restoring adequate water capacity to the 34 City. 35 36 RESIGNATION OF ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER: 37 38 City Manager Burt announced that Susan VanderHeyden has 39 accepted a position as assistant city administrator in 40 the city of Rosemount.
