Temporary equipment loaned by MDEQ, Mountain Water of Missoula, and the city of Whitefish has been returned. The City has purchased permanent equipment in the form of feed pumps, valves, containers and other parts and is now using these pieces in temporary installations at each wellhead. Chlorine, in the liquid form of sodium hypochlorite 12% solution, is directly injected at each well as the well produces to the distribution system. Now that we are using chlorine on a regular schedule we are having it delivered by the vendor rather than collecting it ourselves from Missoula. Chlorination: The rate of chlorine injection is 0.25 ppm by weight. This rate of injection is sufficient to ensure the State required minimum residual of 0.20 ppm is maintained throughout the distribution system. We have noted that there is virtually no deterioration in chlorine amount as water works its way through the system. We put in 0.25 ppm and virtually the same amount, 0.25 ppm, is measured at the farthest point of the system. This indicates there is almost no "chlorine demand" in our system, a situation which we had hoped to encounter. Chlorine demand results from the combination of chlorine with either chemicals in the water, destruction of harmless organisms in the pipeline, or disinfection of harmful organisms in the supply. It appears that virtually none of this is happening. We believe this is because there are few if any chemicals in the water, the pipelines are basically clean, and organisms are not present at the sources of supply. The incident last summer was apparently due to some invasion of organisms into the distribution system. hfaintenance of the chlorine residual will help insure this does not recur. Permanent facilities: Chlorine, due to its corrosive nature, should be in a room separate from pumps, controls and electrical equipment. Two wells, Buffalo Hills and Grandview have these rooms. The Depot and Armory wells need them. We have designed the permanent improvements to be installed at each well, and have shipped the designs to Post Office Box 1997 - Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 TAlanl+. JrAILC\ '7CO '7'7AA - rA v IA-\ ^r.n . --- MDEQ for their review and approval. We intend to install the Grandview and BH facilities first. This will allow us to learn a bit more, and then we will transfer that knowledge to the remaining two locations. Because of weather, the construction of chlorination rooms at Depot and Armory will be done in the spring, and we will likely need to contract the building work. Electrical controls have been modified at all sites and the existing flow meter at Grandview is, fortunately, capable of "pacing" the application rate to match the variable speed drive of the well pump. Costs: To date we have tried to purchase this equipment from operations budgets, but we have kept a record of the costs so that Amy can correctly reflect it in fixed asset inventory. I assume some transfers may be appropriate to charge replacement or capital accounts when done. We will, before proposing any major expenditure, advise you of the amounts involved and obtain your authorization. Complaints: We have had surprisingly few complaints. Initially, we received some when application rates were high to disinfect the system. Since then we might receive a call every week or two just to ask about the amount we use. It should be recalled that we use 0.25 ppm in Kalispell, and in Whitefish they use roughly ten times that amount. Of interest, the State MDEQ have recently recommended that we raise our application rate to the 0.30 ppm range. They feel this will give us greater protection. This is an item we intend to further discuss with them before doing anything.
