Projects we should consider include: 1. Water Quality Improvements. Bob Bears, our Wastewater Treatment Plant Supervisor, will explain how important this is. He has a water treatment class III certification along with WWT III (took WWT IV test), WD III, and WWC III. He will explain the new (1) Surface Water Rule, (2) Lead and Copper Rule, (3) Phase 11 Regulations, (4) Chlorine Treatment requirements and retention. He has some handouts and I gave Council some hand outs at the Council meeting of September 2, 1992. Both Bob and I think that the City will be required by US EPA and ADEC to provide two (2) treatment plants (one for each well) or combine our water and then treat it. Unfortunately, I do not think EPA will fund these improvements. ADEC may fund this through their 50% matching grant funds or we may be able to get a legislative grant. I think we will be made to treat our water even if the City has to pay 100% of the costs. This could raise our users water bill tremendously. (It could be as much as $50.00 per month, or more). 2. Thompson Park Water and Sewer. This is to run water and sewer through -out Thompson Park Subdivision. Phil Bryson, of WCB, will be at the meeting to explain the costs involved. I will have a copy of their study they did in 1984. We do have grant funding for the majority of the sewer interceptor to Thompson Park. Page 2 3. Water Main Loop at Cook Inlet View. This is a main line from Cook Inlet View, southeast along the Spur to an unused cranny of the Spur at Illiamna. Rough estimate $125,000. 11" 1 4. Water Main Loop - Birch to Ash. This is a main line loop along 5th Street to tie in Woodland Subdivision to Birch Street. Rough estimate $170,000. Water Main Loop - Lawton to Swires. This is a main line loop along Lawton to Swires extended and north to the main line on Swires. Rough estimate $435,000.

"Not many (chlorine) CT storage tanks have been designed or construct- ed yet, so we're in a bit of a pioneering mode," Ward said. Unalaska is now building such a tank and plans to test it next summer, he said. "It would sure make sense in our eyes to permit the City of Kodiak to wait until the studies are completed in Unalaska to prove that the perfor- mance of Kodiak's tank is going to comply with 'SPA requirements," Ward said. EPA officials at the hearing ap- peared to be moving toward letting Kodiak use the less expensive chlori- nated water system. "We think that we're coming pretty close to being able to say that, yes, Kodiak does meet the criteria to re- main unfiltered," said Larry Worley, the agency's chief drinking water pro- gram coordinator for Region 10 in Seattle. But Worley would not say how much time Kodiak had to comply with the rules. "You need to convince us you're going as fast as you reasonably can," he said. The agency said a decision will not be made until after the public comment period ends on Sept. 14.
