<br />City of New Brighton <br />May 24, 1983 <br /> <br />Page Nine <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The City Engineer reviewed the recent public <br />hearing regarding the alternatives for <br />emergency water supply this summer. <br /> <br />Update Super Fund <br />Grant Emergency <br />Water Supply <br /> <br />Mayor Harcus questioned whether the City of <br />Minneapolis could, in fact, shut off access to <br />their water supply if they were having peak <br />problems. <br /> <br />The City Engineer stated that if the City of <br />Minneapolis has sprinkling bans, he would expect <br />we would also have to abide by that ban. <br /> <br />Councilmernber Blomquist stated he had talked with <br />Mr. steve Lee, from the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency who had indicated after the recent public <br />hearing that the Minneapolis water also contains <br />small levels of trichloroethylene and asked that <br />that information be passed on to the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Benke questioned whether the carbon <br />filtration system would in fact filter out all of <br />the contaminants. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson, representing CH2M, stated that carbon <br />is now being used at the arsenal and very low levels <br />of contamination are being reported and they are, in <br />fact being accepted by the State Board of Health. <br />Mr. Anderson stated that he did not know what level <br />would be acceptable for the New Brighton area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Blomquist stated that they can say, <br />however, that carbon filtration would not completely <br />remove the contaminant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Benke noted that either approach would <br />mean small traces and felt that given the facts he felt <br />the carbon filtration system would be better. <br /> <br />Mayor Harcus stated that he agreed with the use of the <br />carbon filtration system. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schmidt stated that he could agree with <br />the carbon filtration system especially if it could be <br />guaranteed that carbon could in fact be obtained if <br />additional carbon was necessary. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson stated that his company did not have all <br />the additional information they needed to in fact <br />guarantee the availability of carbon, but that the <br />company would have that information soon and felt that <br />they would, in fact, be able to guarantee the availability. <br /> <br />Councilmember Blomquist stated that he would encourage <br />the use of the carbon filtration system. <br />
