Chairman Scurlock felt there is no question about that. <br />Utilities Director Pinto wished to explain the County's <br />situation and where the City fits in. The County has embarked on <br />expansion of its wastewater master plan so we can go up into the <br />North County and the West County. The missing link is.the South <br />County, and we are not sure how to do that. Either the County <br />will have to build a treatment plant in the South County, buy the <br />General Development Corporation plant, or do something jointly <br />with the City. Director Pinto felt that the argument of whether <br />or not the City plant is polluting the river is relatively <br />unimportant. What is important is the reuse of wastewater that <br />could be very good water because when that hits the river, it is <br />lost forever. Director Pinto confirmed that the County has <br />embarked on total use of all of our effluent. <br />Chairman Scurlock brought up water and asked if there is any <br />desire to pursue the water resource issue jointly. He noted that <br />the County is in the process of expanding and will be coming <br />right behind the North County wastewater plant with a North <br />County water program. <br />City Manager Little requested that it be borne in mind that <br />the City has this study, and he would like both City and County <br />staff to sit down with the consultant and talk about it. He <br />reported that a cursory examination would indicate to the City <br />that if their efforts to clean up some of the trichlorethylene <br />problems in the Airport wellfield are successful and if their <br />efforts to tap the deep aquifer to get a better quality water are <br />successful, they can operate their .present plant at 15 million <br />gallons a day. With the non -potable water efforts that are <br />going on in John's Island and if the County goes ahead with the <br />North treatment plant and relieves the City of that flow, he <br />believed they would not need to expand their water treatment <br />plant until well out into the 1990's. <br />City Manager Little then discussed alternatives for handling <br />effluent either by taking an effluent pipe south down Indian <br />s <br />dAR 1 11 ��� BOOK F' r U <br />C <br />
