VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS Lead/Copper The Lead/Copper is NOT in the Source of our drinking water.
VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS The source of Lead comes from the Homes we live in. The Lead typically enters water supplies by leaching from lead or brass pipes and plumbing components. New Lead pipes and plumbing components containing lead are no longer allowed for this reason. However, many older homes may contain lead pipes. For lead action level exceedances: Find out whether your pipes contain lead or lead solder. Run your water for 15-30 seconds or until it becomes cold before using it for drinking or cooking. (This flushes any standing lead from the pipes.) Don’t cook with or drink water from the hot water tap; lead dissolves more easily into hot water. Do not boil your water to remove lead. Excessive boiling water makes the lead more concentrated – the lead remains when the water evaporates.
VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS • The source of Copper comes from the Homes we live in. • The Copper typically enters water supplies by leaching from copper or brass pipes and plumbing components. • New Copper pipes and plumbing components are made of more refined copper or PVC or PEX pipe and are allowed for this reason. However, many older homes may contain older copper pipes. • For copper action level exceedances: • Don’t cook with or drink water from the hot water tap; copper dissolves more easily into hot water. • Do not boil your water to remove copper. Excessive boiling water makes the copper more concentrated – the copper remains when the water evaporates.
WATER TESTING LABS • Q.C. Analytical • 1798 Iowa Drive, Le Claire Ia. • 563-289-3373 • PDC Laboratories Inc. • Peoria, IL. • 309-692-9688 or 800-752-6651 • Contact : Al Hogan
What PHOSPHATE will do: • It will coat inside of piping to prevent leaching Lead/Copper. • We are going to inject a minute amount of chemical. • Water systems are regulated as to the amount of Phosphate that can be injected. • This amounts to less than what you would ingest in a slice of bread or a can of soda. • Phosphate is in all prepared food items.
PHOSPHATE COST & EQUIPMENT • Projected Cost (estimate) • $ 2,000.00 • Equipment: • Chemical Feed Pump • Multi-Function (Anti-Siphon 4-Way Valve) • Strainer with Foot Valve • Injection Valve • Bronze Corp. Stop • Misc. Fittings • Polyethylene Premium Grade Discharge Tubing • Reagent Refill • Drums Up Spill Control • Chemical pump to be wired through filter system so it keeps pace with out going water flow
PHOSPHATE OPERATING COST • Estimated Cost: • At 30,000 Gal./Day = $5.29 • Per Month = $158.70 • Per Year = $1,904.40
YEARLY EVENTS OF SYSTEM • Water usage for the year • 15,162,060 gallons out of Well #5 • Power outages • Install back-up generator at Well House #3 • Service leaks
LONG RANGE PLAN Locate & map residential shut off valves Shut off valves need to be fixed or replaced Install additional shut off valves to better isolate areas during repairs Replace the existing 2 inch water lines with 4 or 6 in water lines
OLD BUSINESS • Mowing • Hired out again at Well House & sub-division sign • Garbage & Re-cycling pick-up
NEW BUSINESS • Break-ins, vandalism & suspicious activity • Speed Limit Sign • Well Engineer & Manager Board Members • New Volunteers?
