Filters To Be Installed In Water Line Pacific Power & Light com pany reports it plans the in stallation of pressure filters tor the Mill City water system at a cost of $18,102. The filters will help to clari fy the city’s water supply dur ing the winter months when the idgh river flows result in u murky appearance of the water, reports Wayne Goin, PP&L’s local area manager. Four pressure filters along with associated equipment are on order and construction will begin as soon as they arrive, probably April 1, Goin said. Die filters will be x>used in a prefabricated metal struc ture to be located adjacent to the present pumping facilities. The P1’4L manager said the system has always maintained the highest standards of purity in compliance with the state health board's requirements and the turbid condition has been primarily a problem of the appearance of the water. fhe installation of the pressure filters between the pressure pumps and the storage reser voir will substantially reduce the murkiness of the drinking water supply, he said. The manager reported that the new facilities are designed and will be installed so that the plant may be expanded to double the system's capacity when needed.
