In re: City of Laurel Water System Master Plan
Dear Mr. Kaercher:
After our meeting and a review of our current situation, we
have decided we would like to proceed on the following basis:
1. HKM would do a complete treatment plant re-
evaluation including disinfection system - cost FOUR
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS ($4424.00);
2. HKM would upgrade the Task I and Task II Document
for the city - cost TWO THOUSAND SIXTY DOLLAR ($2060.00).
(Each of these cost quotes are taken from your January
17, 1994 letter.)
The City is proceeding with the following understanding:
1. That the City has received a notice of violation
(Notice) from the Department of Health and Environmental
Sciences-Water Quality Bureau, alleging inadequate
treatment of Giardia Lamblia cysts and viruses. Copy of
Notice dated December 6, 1993 attached.
2. That the City is to submit a compliance schedule to
the Water Quality Bureau pursuant to such Notice.
3. That the complete re-evaluation of the treatment
plant in conjunction with the up-date of Task I and Task
II will generate the necessary information for
preparation of the compliance schedule that must be
submitted by the City to the Water Quality Bureau under
the provisions of the Notice they received.
