CHAIRMAN WODTKE WISHED TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF NEW CONNECTIONS" <br />FOR ALL OF 1979, AND MR, MOSIAN ANSWERED THAT IT WAS 10 THROUGH MARCH <br />AND HE DID NOT HAVE THE FIGURES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF 1979, BUT HE <br />WOULD GUESS ABOUT 20 FOR THE YEAR TO DATE. <br />MR. VAUGHN, GENERAL MANAGER, DID NOT KNOW THE FIGURES FOR <br />THE HOOK-UPS FOR THE YEAR TO DATE EITHER. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHY ALL OF THE FORCE MAINS ARE <br />CONSIDERED USED AND USEFUL. <br />MR. VAUGHN STATED THAT THE FORCE MAINS DO NOT COLLECT SEWAGE; <br />THEY ARE USED TO TRANSPORT IT TO THE PLANT FROM THE LIFT STATIONS. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF HE WAS SAYING THAT ALL FORCE <br />MAINS THAT THEY HAVE IN THE SYSTEM ARE IN USE, AND MR. VAUGHN STATED <br />THAT THEY ARE 100% USED. <br />THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY OVERFLOW OR BLOW-OUT <br />VALVES IN THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD POSSIBLY DISCHARGE ANYTHING INTO THE <br />RIVER, AND MR. VAUGHN STATED THAT THERE ARE NOT AND THAT YOU ARE NOT <br />ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT IN THE ORLANDO LABORATORY REPORT <br />IN THE AREA OF NITRATES, IT SAYS THE RAW WATER IS 1.3, AND THE FINISHED <br />PRODUCT PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION IS .06; HOWEVER, IN THE THIRD REPORT AT <br />THE CUSTOMER S HOUSE, THE NITRATE IS HIGHER THAN IN THE RAW WATER. <br />MR, VAUGHN COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER <br />IN ONE PLACE THAN IN ANOTHER. HE NOTED THAT WHEN THEY LOOK AT .016 <br />ON THE MONITOR, THAT IS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT IN THE SENSITIVITY RANGE, <br />AND IT IS PRETTY HARD TO GIVE ANY KIND OF AN ANSWER. HE POINTED OUT <br />THAT THE MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL FOR NITRATES IS 10. <br />THE CHAIRMAN THEN DISCUSSED CALCIUM CONTENT, AND MR. VAUGHN <br />INFORMED HIM THAT THE SALTS OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM ARE A NATURAL <br />ELEMENT OF WATER AND ARE BASICALLY WHAT CONSTITUTES HARDNESS IN WATER. <br />HE NOTED THAT SOFTENED WATER IS REALLY A LUXURY ITEM. <br />DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO THE FIGURES GIVEN FOR <br />NITRATES, AND MR. VAUGHN AGAIN POINTED OUT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR <br />COMPLIANCE WITH A MAXIMUM OF 10 AND YOU ARE GETTING A READING OF .06. <br />37 <br />DEC 111979 'BOOK y $ ` <br />
