<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />city of New Brighton <br />July 28, 1981 <br /> <br />to the Secretary of the Army and with <br />consent of the Council directed receipt <br />and filing of the copy. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Englund, Chief Section of Water <br />Supply and General Engineering, was present <br />to answer questions. He discussed the state <br />of the art in regard to the present problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Alexander Levitan, 2051 Long Lake Road, <br />questioned if pumping Well #9 to waste would <br />remove the toxic chemicals through the air <br />contact and agitation of the water. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Englund, Minnesota Department of Health, <br />indicated that there information shows a straight <br />line reduction in the level of chemicals as a <br />result of the agitation of the water and <br />contact of the chemicals with the air. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritz Werdouschegg, member of the New Brighton <br />Environmental Quality Commission discussed bulk <br />purification treatment systems and requested the <br />Minnesota Department of Health to test at two (2) <br />remote locations within the distribution system <br />in addition to the tests at the well site. <br /> <br />The City Manager reviewed his report in regard <br />to home purification systems. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Englund stated that the EPA have been <br />reviewing home water purification systems stating <br />this is a very new art and not enough information <br />is available to give guidelines for regulating <br />this industry at this point. Further there is no <br />firm indication that the system is fool-proof and <br />the Minnesota Department of Health does not <br />recommend the use of water treatment systems to correct <br />the present prOblem. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritz Werdouschegg, member of the EQC, discussed <br />types of point of use water purifier systems available <br />for installation in this area. He further suggested <br />the City advise New Brighton citizens of its findings <br />in regard to point of use purification. <br /> <br />Motion by Benke, seconded by Janecek to: <br /> <br />1. Select modifications to the C{ty's wells as the primary <br />long term option for further study, to continue discussion <br />of the engineering specifics to a future meeting date <br />and to establish a separate account for all study and <br />modification expenses; <br /> <br />-3- <br />
