placing notices in the "Sentinel" and the "Citizen" asking residents to con-
serve water use .
The cause of the algae problem appears to be the combination of an unusually
large algae bloom in Chatfield Reservoir and the accumulation of alum sludge
in the reservoir. Possible solutions to the problem were discussed by Mr.
Fonda and Mr. Woika and include purchase of a floating barge/filter press sys-
tem to remove solids from the reservoir, repiping of some plant process lines
and the use of alternate water sources. CDM submitted as proposal to do the
engineering for some of these projects, but the staff will be doing the ini-
tial phase of the engineering.
The Water and Sewer Board will be receiving information on the costs of the
barge/press system and the plant repiping.
