1.3 COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT
Eric Lindberg, 5561 Sherwood Drive, stated he would like to see
additional items be included in the proposed facility upgrades that
will be bonded for in 1993. He presented a 3 page background on
the water quality in Mound. Included in this was the current
condition of water in Mound; the effects of unfiltered water;
Federal Regulations relating to the Safe Water Drinking Act; and
four solutions that he sees as options the City has. The four
possible solutions are as follows:
Update the facilities without filtering the water.
Add a Iron/Manganese filtration system and leave the
water softening to the homeowners.
Add a Iron/Manganese filtration system as well as a Ion
Exchange softening system. This would be the same as
homeowners replacing hardness with some sodium as current
water softeners accomplish. It would remove the need for
home water softeners.
Add a Iron/Manganese filtration system as well as a
Lime/Ash softening system. This would also soften water
but without placing residual sodium in the system.

Also included was a cost estimate for Mound water filtration to
homeowners on each option.

Frank Roos Associates for water treatment be updated so they can be
reviewed for possible combination with the proposed bond issue or
a separate bond issue. They also asked that the staff check into
the Safe Water Drinking Act. No further action was taken at this
time.
