Just In Case You Missed It

I missed it, too.

Last week the two assembled Aquastore tank tops were lifted to place over our newly installed WRT filtration cylinders. These cylinders once filled with the proprietary zeolite medium and placed online will begin to remove the trace levels of radium from our water supply as mandated by the EPA.

We are making good progress on this approximately $2 million water quality project. Completing this project was Elburn's #1 goal for 2005, and there is every indication that our system will, in fact, be fully functional before year end.

The WRT zeolite radium removal process is a relatively new technology. In the long run it has the potential to generate significant savings for our residents. Yes, we have had to initiate a modest water rate increase to cover our initial investment, water treatment and lease costs.

But, the Village of Elburn stands to complete this project with no loans of any kind. That bodes very well for the future indeed.
