NEEDS TO PROPER FLUSHING SUCH AS THE UDF METHOD

Barton & Loguidice did some tracking for the Village a year ago when all the complaints were going on last summer. Some of the causes are that the wells have iron, that adds to it, it has magnesium, that adds to it. It gets into your hot water heater. The iron bacteria can grow in that hot water heater. So, the system can be flushed but if you don’t flush your hot water heater, you’re not going to get rid of things. We are looking at the newer age rapid filtration systems with probably a lot of chemistry upgrading to try to get some of the hardness out before we filter it, and then we would send it down as more of a softer water that would be a little easier on the end users. One of the problems we can take care of easily is putting down corrosion control chemicals in the water and hold it inside of the tank. That means any lead services in the system are going to be coated or attempted to be leached. That is something we do now and something we want to continue to do. The problem is we having this mixing of water and that chemistry all wrong.
