325 now use Henry Creek water
to the western boundary ot
Lady C reek near the
former town of Faubian.
located between Rhododen
dron and Zig Zag just south
off Highway 26
According to retired Col
onel Jack Baker, who has
been a member of the
association's water board
for a little over two years,
the surface system pro
vides adequate water and
will continue to do so “ as
long as the source Henry
Creek —is taken care of ”
He said it is a primary
concern of people that the
creek remain pure at the
source
The creek begins with
underground springs, near
the top of West Zig Zag
Mountain, just east of the
town
Baker said it's amazing
that the system has been
able to provide adequate
water for so many years
with relatively few pro
blems Some water sources
in the area, such as the
Lady Creek system, had to
be supplemented with d rill
ed wells in order to main
ta in
the
s ta n d a rd s
specified by the Federal
Clean Water Act
Four
y e a rs
ago,
however, Baker said the
state Department of En
vironmental Quality and
the V S Environm ental
Protection Agency began
m o n ito rin g the w a te r
system, and complained of
turbidity problems
He said that the turbidity
levels were found to be high
during the spring and fall
when runoff naturally in
creased due to heavy rains
and snow melt
The E P A said from
S e p te m b e r

December 1981, the water
system had an excess tur
bidity average.
To resolve this problem.
Baker said two years ago
the EPA requested the
water company install an
additional 100.000 gallon
storage tank just above the
water system's old reser
voir This would give the
system a three-day supply
during times of high tur
bulence.
The EPA is concerned
about turbidity because
germs can be carried along
in the particles of water
While the company was
c o n s tru c tin g the new
storage tank.
EPA re
quested that a tribidity
monitor also be installed
This w arns when the
tribidity levels in the water
are unaccepable for drink

Baker said that in the past
tests were conducted by the
Oregon State Health Divi

The construction of the
tank has now been com

it was finished months
behind schedule He places
the blame on the U S

reportedly slow in issuing
approval of the plans to

Today said Baker, the

at least to this extent, will
have to take place again

Association to keep one
wondering why our coffee
prices are so high
Kahawa is Swahili for
coffee and it's interesting
to note that none of the
natives seem to drink it. In
any case, readers will find
a fast-paced action story
with snappy lines, con
tinuously moving plot and
very little moralizing about
right or wrong
For better mileage!
