Activities From The Past.
Running the tower over after many days of 90 degree temps 2007.
Water in the top of the tank can get very warm
and lose chlorine under these conditions as it doesn't
circulate much and can get stale.
Out with the old, in with the new...2007.

If we were to bottle Parker City's water, would you buy it from a machine at a dollar a bottle? Probably not. But you will buy water from a machine that possibly comes from some other city's tap. Many bottled waters on the market come from other cities. The bottler then labels them with colorful names and pictures and explains how they are mountain waters and filtered waters etc. Or they may call them "pure water" as it has been distilled leaving just plain water that is "flat" to the taste. They then add chemicals, flavoring etc. to bring back the taste. Yes they may be mountain waters and filtered. A muncipality can get it's raw water from wells, rivers, resorvoirs AND mountain streams. And yes, they do filter it as we do ours. We remove all but a slight amount of iron, and all but a slight amount of hardness. We do not distill the water to remove ALL traces of impurities and these remaining traces are not bad for you. Your parents most likely drank the cold, untreated water straight from the well and they got along fine, except on wash day and mom had to take precautions from staining the white things from rust stains.
There are municipality water treatment plants now bottling their own plant water.

A letter dated September 26, 2005 sent to Town Board President Fred Ludington from the Indiana State Department of Health reads:
Subject:2002 and 2003 Water Fluoridation Quality Awards.
Water Fluoridation of community water systems has been recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as one of the 10 great public health achievements in the 20th Century. However, to obtain the most benefit to oral health, it is vital for a water system to maintain fluoride levels in the optimal range, which in Indiana is 0.7 to 1.2 ppm.
To support state Water Fluoridation programs and recognize water treatment facilities that are doing an outstanding job of promoting good oral health, the CDC has, (based on Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) documentation), issued Water Fluoridation Quality Awards to the community water systems that have consistently maintained fluoride levels in the optimal range. We are pleased to inform you that your community was one of those named.
We of the Oral Health division at the ISDH also wish to officially commend and thank you and your community's water supply officials for successfully maintaining optimal fluoride levels and meeting our state's fluoridation monitoring requirements for all 12 months of 2002 and 2003. Thus, we are proud to present to you, as the Board President, the enclosed 2002 and 2003 Water Fluoridation Quality Award Certificates. Please share this award with your water supply officials and convey to them our sincerest congratulations for a job well done.
Sincerely, Daniel S. Cain. B.S., R.E.H.S.
Director of Water Fluoridation Oral Health
