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.
