r -I <br />NOV "12" <br />1986' BOOK 50 <br />Director Pinto advised that staff looked into the complaint <br />re the chlorination system, and last year there was a problem <br />that required the system to be chlorinated -to a very high degree. <br />He explained that in a small unsophisticated system such as this, <br />you will get fluctuations in the chlorine treatment. With a dual <br />chlorinator, when one runs out, it automatically switches over to <br />the other, but it does not regulate the amount of chlorine that <br />goes in the system. The company has complied with the order to <br />put in the equipment necessary to meet the standards, and on an <br />overall basis, it meets minimum standards; however, there is a <br />big difference in water between the minimum standards and what <br />you like to drink. <br />Eric Pollard, 6153 98th Place, felt the matter of the fire <br />hydrants warrants some discussion, and knowing the DER, he felt <br />we should take a good while longer to look at the order and the <br />interpretation of the order, perhaps another year. He asked if <br />the Board realized that for the last five years the tanker trucks <br />have been filling their tanks at Breezy Village hydrants, after a <br />fire primarily and sometimes during the fire. He also emphasized <br />that if the residents of Breezy Village have no fire hydrants in <br />the area, their insurance rates are going to sky rocket; so, he <br />urged that the Commission study the situation and not do anything <br />in haste, particularly since it appears there is the possibility <br />®of a county system in the offing. <br />Commissioner Lyons inquired if the tankers are filling their <br />tanks when the fire is not connected with this subdivision, and <br />Mr. Pollard stated that they fill them any time there is a fire <br />in the area. This is the closest fire hydrant to anything except <br />the river. He further pointed out that while they do have low or <br />high amounts of chlorine, water tests over the years have not <br />found the water to be contaminated, and he did not feel we should <br />worry too much about the fire hydrants. <br />Discussion continued as to whether this is a significant <br />problem, and most Board members felt it was not.
