Safe water standards <br />are 250 on chlorides and 500 on TDS. <br />Chairman noted that apparently the deep wells far exceed the <br />parameters set by the State Safe Water Drinking Act. <br />Engineer Brooks reviewed the potential for contamination in <br />wells drawing from the shallow aquifer with salt water intrusion, <br />septic tanks, etc. He advised that the assessment roll will be <br />approximately $1,300 for each property owner and is done per <br />property where single family residences are feasible.
