Attorney has reviewed and approved the language and changes to the Code.

9. PHARMACEUTICALS IN SOURCE AND FINISHED WATER RESULTS.
The Board received a memorandum from Chris Schultz of CDM dated June 1 2008
regarding the CDM's sampling of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) at
the Allen Water Treatment Plant. In March, 2008 a series of reports was released in the
press regarding minute concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds found in drinking
water supplies. To date , scientists have found no evidence of adverse health effects from
the compounds in drinking water .
I
• CDM's report showed that compounds in finished water, except acetaminophens , were
lower than source water, demonstrating that the Allen Water Treatment Plant was
effective in removing some of these compounds. The filtering process using granular
activated carbon (GAC) was found to be highly effective for removal of PPCPs in
