TELL LAKELAND PARK WATER PROBLEM TO CITY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) department that chlorine was the only solution. They felt the addition of chlorine and flushing the hydrants monthly would take care of the situation. Ladd did finally install a chlorinator to the system but it was not automatic, according to Mrs.Fisher. When the chlorinator is in operation, residents of the center , of the subdivision receive excessive amounts and the smell is strong. Yet where Mrs. Fisher lives on Sunset drive at the extreme west end of the park, the chlorine never reaches her home. She and the officials couldn't determine what was the matter until they checked the well and pump house at Eastern and Prairie. There they discovered a faulty shut-off valve. Raber noticed a large metal pipe about 115 feet from the pump house gushing a steady stream of water. In checking the ditch, it was found to contain chlorinated water. Raber put a green dye into the ditch to see where the chlorinated water was coming from. He discovered that the water came from a pipe behind the well and pump house. The pump failed to shut off when the tank was full because the valve would stick and all the chlorinated water continued into the creek. Mrs. Fisher reported that at one time chlorinated water did get to her outside spigot. However, it took 4 days for that chlorinated water to get to her faucet inside the house. "When the chlorine finally broke through that garbage, we had good water for awhile but then they stopped chlorinating" she said. Mrs. Fisher presented pic­ tures to support her claims. One of them, showed a pipe coming out of the pump house. Next to the pump was a disconnected piece of pipe which she called an "overflow pipe". When the pump stops this pipe takes the overflow to the creek. However, when creek water is high, the pipe is under water and when the pump starts again, it sucks creek water back into the System. When the pipe is above water, there is no problem. When people were com­ plaining of mucky water, it was the creek water being sucked into the system, Mrs. Fisher explained. She said at the present time, the EPA is conducting a door to door survey. They are con­ sidering red tagging the water system because chlorinating is not being done. A county ordinance effective Nov. 1, states that all water systems must be chlorinated. If not done, the county will red tag the system. "If this happens," Mrs. Fisher remarked, "I imagine the price of our water system would drop a great deal. She wondered if the city purchased it, would the amount of money saved be put back into the system or would a special assessment be made on Lakeland Park residents. Alderman Harker replied that Lakeland Park residents are entitled to the same high quality of water everyone else in the city enjoys as well as stable and reliable service. If it is purchased, he said the system would be updated as rapidly as funds would permit. But in the meantime, he felt the Council would be willing to take appropriate steps to have the water chlorinated at a low level. William Bolger, who is chairman of the Sewer and Water committee, reported that he had been authorized to look into the matter of the purchase of the Lakeland Park water system from Ladd Enterprises. Up to now, the " qiain stumbling block has been the cost". He said a letter had been written to David Ladd enclosing a letter from the Illinois Commerce com­ mission. Ladd was told that the Sewer and Water committee wished to meet with him. Bolger's committee will con­ tinue to pursue the matter. Lloyd Wagner, secretary of the Lakeland Park Property Owner's association, informed the Council that his organization was in the process of sending letters to state agencies demanding im­ mediate action be taken on the < >ARE YOU IN NEED OF . . •kitchen cabinets * Range * Hoods * Medicine cabinets •Bathroom Fixtures * Fi- berglas showerstalls, • vwr ittes and top? * Gas. & *011 Furnaces * Air con­ ditioning, central and wtn- >dow * Hot water boilers •and base radiation * Sump » pumps * Water Softemerq SEE OUR DO-IT-YOUR­ SELF HOME IMPROVE­ MENT DEPARTMENT 1HE BATH SHOP 3012 W.

Because of reports indicating possible dangerous bacteria in the water, Alderman Rogers ask that the city have Dr. Peter Griesbach, city health officer, study the reports and see if there is any danger to the 3,000 residents served by that water system. Rogers also noted that at his home in Lakeland Park, he solved the terrible sulfur odor by removing the magnesium anode from his hot water heater. Others had also done this and solved their sulfur odor problems. Mrs. Fisher mentioned that officials detected a state violation on the water system. A device known as "a pitless adapter" was supposed to be installed to keep bacteria from going into the water. The state was aware of the violation and yet noting had been done. Alderman Harker com­ mended Mrs. Fisher for the things she had done and the pictures she had brought in. "Instead of making wild threats which get us nowhere, you have brought things we can work on," he said. Mayor Stanek remarked that Mrs. Fisher had been more successful in finding deficiencies in the system that the experts had. She had presented more information than he had ever heard before. Bolger mentioned that the information she gathered would be valuable when they meet with the owner of the water system. It may put pressure on him to get something done. Supt.Meyer said he would meet with state officials Tuesday and they would check the entire water system and report back to the Council. H.D. Hartel, Jr. New 19th Circuit Associate Judge Harry D.

BOAT CAPSIZES The McHenry Rescue squad was summoned to McCullom Lake Sunday afternoon when it was reported that a sail boat had capsized on the lake. Upon arrival at the scene, another boat operator assisted squad members in reaching the victim, Irving Gaul, of 4121 Flanders road, McHenry, who was clinging to the craft. Gaul who is a good swimmer, reported he was in no im­ mediate danger. He said the craft frequently overturns in high winds but usually he is accompanied by another passenger and they are able to right the craft immediately. Since he was alone he was unable to do so Sunday. True Saying: Everyone shuns trouble as much as possible, unless .of course, it comes disguised as money. Honeymoon Is Over!
