Mr. Prindle was called upon to adâ€" dress the council on the subject. He stated that while the present condiâ€" tion of the water was harmless from the health standpoint, it was very disagreeable and that people would use other wiater, which was not healthy, in preference. He further stated that other towns using the lake water were having trouble with the bad tasting water, which was caused by the superabundance of vegetable growth; that this condiâ€" tion could be eliminated by powâ€" dered earbon being properly mi:ul‘ with the water; that at the time our plant was constructed that the use of powdered carbon was in an exâ€" perimental stage; ‘that in 1982 a machine was purchased but that it is inadequate for our present water needs; that he had imventigatedâ€"a number of plants, including the one at Milwaukee, and felt that the Inâ€" ternational Filtee Machine was the best one for Highland Park. The cost of this mamehine is $733.

He also requested that an ordinance be drawn or something be done to prevent resiâ€" the question of the foul odor and taste of our water. He stated that he has gone into the matter quite fully with Mr. Prindle and that the conclusion reached was that the plant needed a new carbon machine mnr-sitbnbgduhlym for City to take drastic action for several years.
