AWWA--March 29, 1881 Technology Changes, Goals Still Remain It was on Mar. 29,1881, that 22 waterworks men gathered in St. Louis to form an "asso ciation of western water works." The following year, representatives came from all parts of the country, making it a national organization. In its first issue, published during this anniversary month, AWWA Mainstream salutes the birth of AWWA with excerpts from the pro ceedings of that formative meeting. Proceedings of First Annual Meeting Pursuant to a call issued by W.C. Stripe, secretary and superintendent, Keokuk Water Company, the following offi cers of water companies and those interested, met in convention: W.C. Stripe, Keokuk, Iowa; H.G.

At 10:30 a.m. the convention was called to order by Mr. Stripe, who gave a short statement of the causes lead ing to the call. `Interchange of Views' Col. Foster, on taking the chair, alluded pointedly and briefly to the business before the body and suggested that great benefit would ensue from an interchange of views on the subject of waterworks.

Ways "(right) join Governor Harry R, Hughes in proclaiming 'Better water for People" Week in Maryland. `Better Water5 Week Cultivates Good Public Image Belter Water For People Week, the annual opportunity for utilities to seize the spot light of good public opinion, is May 3-9 this year. AWWA President Jerome B. Gilbert has urged members of the American Water Works Association everywhere to make a special effort in 1981--AWWA's centennial year--to emphasize the achievements of water supply. Traditionally, the week has been an occasion for open house events, the one time during the year people are invited to come see for them selves how drinking water is produced and delivered to their homes. Inevitably, for those utili ties that care to make the point, the water system is a community's largest manu facturer; always in terms of weight (at 8.345 pounds per gallon or 1 kilogram per litre) and frequently in terms of volume. With equal inevita bility, the public is unaware of this. Employee Benefit One of the biggest and least appreciated aspects of Better Water Week, according to AWWA, is the recognition it gives to employees of the water system. Given the opportunity to plan and con duct the event themselves, employees can create a pro gram that not only presents the utility at its best, but allows its workers to take full credit for its success. - A booklet is available from AWWA headquarters to help plan and present an open house. Utility managers can write for a free copy from the Public Information Depart ment, AWWA, 666G W. Quincy Ave., Denver, Colo. 80235. In addition, water systems are encouraged to turn local situations to their own advantage during the week. For instunce if a drought is in progress, conservation dis plays and information are appropriate. Gardening or landscaping experts can be invited In lecture about proper watering techniques during the event, too. Another idea is the sale of no-longer-needed equipment, such as old meters, hydrants, and valves. Many citizens find these items attractive, either for themselves or as gifts to friends. The sale also makes a good newspaper or television story, according to thdse who have tried it. The May date for Better Water Week was chosen to allow utilities to involve school children more easily. Class tours during the week should be encouraged. AWWA lists a number of handout materials--buttons, booklets, balloons, and the like--in its catalog. Also included are centennial mate rials, which can be ordered for employees. The three-mile relay race is a 'Better Water for People" Week event sponsored by Thornton. Colo, The AWWA Standards Council has a ^proved the addendum to ANSI/AWWA C303-78, AWWA Standard for Reinforced Concrete Pressure Pipe--Steel Cylinder Type, Pretensioned for Water and Other Liquids. The addendum is listed as C303a-81. . The addendum was devel oped because section 2.6.2 of the standard limits to ASTM A675 the type of steel accepta ble for spigot joint rings. Recently, manufacturers have experienced price and avail ability problems with ASTM A675 steel. C303a would allow the use of other steel materials in addition to A675 for spigot joint rings. The addendum is identical to section 2.9.2 of ANSI/AWWA C301-79. AWWA Standard for Prestressed Concrete Pressure Pipe, Steel Cylinder Type, for Water and Other liquids, and adds materials listed bythe American Society of Testing . and Materials as A36; A283, grade A; A575, grades 1012 . and 1015; A576, grades 1012 . and 1015; A635; and A663, grade 50. Thd publication of this 1 information in AWWA Mainstream begins the 30-day appeal period for action on standards by the Standards Council. Copies of the adden dum are available from the Secretary of the Standards Council, AWWA, 6666 W. Quincy Ave., Denver, Colo. . 80235, at a cost of$5 for each copy. These are prepublication copies; standards in final form will not be available for pur chase until May. Vol. 25 No. 3 March 1981 Insurance Required for Hazardous Waste Disposal The US Environmental Pro tection Agency has established new regulations requiring businesses that profit from hazardous waste disposal to be prepared to pay for any mis takes they make. Such companies have until mid-1981 to purchase liability insurance, establish trus^ funds or bonds, and otherwise ensure that their disposal sites can be shut down safely and then be inspected periodically for 30 years after closure. Among these USEPA regu lations is one of particular interest to water suppliers. Every facility having the potential to pollute ground-, water must buy additional lia bility insurance of at least $3 million per occurrence of such pollution. Other waste-disposal regula tions cover insurance require ments and location standards regarding fires, explosives, earthquakes, and floods. Only the hazardous waste opera tions of state or federal governments are exempt from the rules. The National Safety Council says that speed is the principal ring error in fatal accidents.

CAPCO JEN 0020448  ------ `NOVA5 Takes on Water Issues of the '80s An hour of television devoted to water is one mea sure of public awareness. The subjects ('<' trihalomethanes, leaky water pipes, ground water contamination, and ' water policy have moved out of the water closet and onto the screen. The TV program could not resolve the controversy sur rounding many issues in the water industry, but it did, introduce the public to the complexity fo the issues. A public television program, entitled "The Water Crisis," examined a number ofprob lems besetting the US water industry in 1980. The program began by saying "engineering has been America's traditional solution to its water worries'' and ended the hour by imply ing the need for a national water policy. .

But only 150 years ago in one of the largest cities in the United States? 100It may have looked like a medieval bas tion, but the AWWA Centennial structure unearthed by bull dozers was part of Cincinnati's original waterworks At the time the discovery was reported in the Cincinnati Post (December 1977), a gray stone structure 50 by 90 feet (15 by 27 metres) and a series of underground tunnels had been excavated. City officials were searching old files and photos for clues as to what part of the old waterworks was uncovered. They do know that Cincin nati's first waterworks was completed in 1821. The system consisted of a series of pumps that raised water from the Ohio River to a tank. From there, similar pumps moved the water to a hillside reser voir. The pumps were powered by horses or oxen on a treadmill. It also is known that the original wooden buildings and pipes were destroyed by fire in 1831. A new works was con structed on the site, and the city purchased it for $300 000 in 1839. This plant was oper ated by the city until 1907, when two new plants were built. Officials could find no dates on the old structure, which had been covered by heaps of rub ble. All that was found in the ruins was three empty wine bottles and a Mason jar. Bulldozers clearing land fora park In 1977 uncovered tills gray stone structure, once a pumping station that brought water from the Ohio River, City engineers conjectured that the original pumping sta tion was below the present water level of the river and that the structure must have served as a holding operation before water was pumped through the tunnels up to the reservoir on the hillside. The Ohio River now has a minimum operating level of 25 ft (7.6 m), but before the first . dams were built in the 1920a, the river had an average depth of about 8 ft (2.4 m). The land where the rock and stone structure was uncovered was being cleared by the Cin cinnati Recreation Department for a park and playground. Hard-Working Membership Chairmen Focus Efforts on EMGM Rich Lane, Manager of Section Services It's nice to see that most of you are not letting up because the end of EMGM is in sight As I've said before, that only gives us a new starting point. Most sections are still vigor ously seeking out new members either through indi vidual efforts or direct mail campaigns. Our section membership committee chairmen surely are among the hardest working individuals in AWWA. Usu ally overworked, they can always use some assistance. Hope you'll help them by doing your bit too. Licking stamps, stapling fliers, calling up some past due rnembers. - Speaking of hard-work ing chairmen, Steve Gorden (New England) ordered our membership display board for use at a meeting of suppliers in Maine. When he's through with it, he'll send it on to Ron Middleton in Indiana for use at a meeting. Dave Stoddart (AtlanticCanada) and Pete Johnson (Chesapeake) personally visit municipalities and utilities and talk to mayors and super intendents about joining AWWA and leave an applica tion with them. Gordon Smith (British Columbia) has budgeted for a $25-a-month recruiting prize and $100, $50, $35 prizes in an annual contest. Herb Evans (Virginia) is putting together a direct mail campaign. Did somebody say, "Direct mail?" Ken Drury (Florida) and Mel Hook (Pennsyl vania) both have strong direct mail campaigns going on right now. Apps from their cajnpaigns come across my desk every day. My secretary asked me today, "Who are those guys?" Welcome aboard to recently appointed membership chair men Dar Soder (Nebraska), Floyd Wicks (Ohio), Cleo Kron (Iowa), Wendell Evensen (Intermountain), Pat Henry (Arizona), Herb Evans (Virginia), Austin Pate (Kentucky-Tennessee), Tony Suratt (North Central), and AI Hamlett (Southwest). I am putting together a membership chairman's procedure manual (as I can get to it) that will be helpful to new and seasoned chairmen. I anticipate having it ready for distribution immediately fol lowing the meeting of the national membership commit tee in mid-March. Duties, responsibilities, monthly reports, retention efforts, and how to do a direct mail cam paign will all be covered. It should be a good one. Regional section officers' meetings start up again this month with the Puerto Rico Section hosting New England, Pennsylvania, and Chesa peake March 5-6. What I wouldn't give to go to that meeting. Paul Schulte is the only staff person going. He'll pay. On April 23-24 the Iowa Section is hosting a meeting of Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, and South Dakota. A big one. Both Paul and I will travel to that one. Two more are scheduled for next fall. Florida is hosting Southwest, Alabama-Mississippi, and Southeast in Orlando. New York is hosting Connecticut, New Jersey Quebec, and Atlantic-Canada. The regional meetings are invaluable training and learn ing sessions for Section of ficers. As a member of AWWA, there are many ways in which you can serve your section and offer your assistance to the administration of the associa tion's goals and objectives. Ask your section secretary / how you may serve. Or call me and I'll put you in touch with your section officers. So, stay in touch. Give me a call. I can talk sports, swap jokes, compare weather, and slip in some business all on one dime. There's my phone ' now. Gotta go.

So is concern over what kinds of things might be seeping into them, as well as how much water is being taken out of them. A water professional in today's political climate might be able to use a new handbook, entitled Groundwater Monitor ing, put out by General Elec tric Company. Authored by Lome G. Everett, the handbook is des cribed as "a cost-effective, generic methodology for moni toring the quality of ground water." It was chosen by the US Environmental Protection Agency as the basis for its guidelines for coal strip-mining and oil-shale tracts. Groundwater Monitoring shows state-of-the-art monitor ing methodologies in a step-bystep format that includes esti mates of capital expenses and operating costs. It also con tains groundwater pollution case histories and site-specific examples of how the reader can put the book's material to work. The term "handbook," how ever, is somewhat misleading. The 529-page volume costs $150 ($185 outside the United States). Ordering information can be obtained from General Electric Company, Business Growth Services, 120 Erie Blvd., Dept. 551, Schenectady, NY 12305.

Transition President Reagan has nominated Anne McGill Gorsuch, a Colorado attorney, as administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency. Gorsuch, 38, is a former state legislator who gained prominence during her four years at the statehouse as a leader of the new young conservatives in Colorado Republican politics. She is best known for her work on criminal sentencing laws, which brought her recognition from colleagues and reporters as the outstanding freshman legislator in 1977. Gorsuch also was active on the legislative committee responsible for major industrial and automobile pollution legislation. SPA'S Groundwater Protection Strategy In response to USEPA's request for written comments and public testimony, Cliff Atkinson Jr. presented AWWA's views on the pro posed groundwater strategy at a public meeting in Washing ton, D.C. in late January. The association complimented USEPA on its strategydeveloping process and the nreventative nature of the strategy. AWWA noted that programs of this nature can be better accomplished at state or watershed or local levels and that the proper federal role is broad policy guidance, research, and technical assistance. Synthetic Organic Compounds National Drinking Wat^r Advisory Council had been postponed pending approval of five new members. The federal hiring freeze is currently block ing these appointments. USEPA is appealing on the grounds that the council is mandated,by the Safe Drink- ing Water Act and, therefore, not subject to the executive order.

The Convention Center is within walking distance of the Mississippi Riverfront, the famous Gateway Arch, and Busch Memorial Stadium. As early as 1879, some thoughts and correspondence about a meeting of "western water works administrators" were circulated, but it was finally formalized two years later. On Mar. 29,1881, when there were fewer than 1000 public water supplies and but a few rudimentary water treatment plants in the United States, 22 men gathered in Engineers' Hall at Washing ton University, which at the time was on the riverfront in St. Louis, to organize an "American Water Works Association." The purpose of the organiza tion, as stated in the preamble to its first constitution adopted on Mar. 30,1881, was "for the exchange of information per taining to the management of waterworks, for the mutual advancement of consumers and water companies,'and for the purpose of securing econ-. omy and uniformity in the operation of waterworks." 1 The 20 individual and four manufacturer members who were enrolled by the end of that first convention thus . .' formed the vanguard of what was to become ttie largest . group of organized profes-. - sional water supply people in the world. . .- It was not until 1910 that AWWA membership reached the 1000 mark, and it took another 14 years before that number had doubled. Today, the association's membership is more than 32 000 and about 10 000 are utility executives. In the early years, AWWA members assembled only once each year to exchange infor mation and discuss the pro gress of the industry. Records of the technical papers pre sented, and manufacturers'' products exhibited, and busi- . ness conducted at these , annual meetings were pub lished in a single volume.of proceedings. By the time AWWA mem bership had grown to more than 1000 however, a need was recognized for breaking up. these meetings into separate discussion groups on special ized topics. Thus, in 1913, it was proposed that the associa- . tion establish topical divisions (continued on page 11) Preconference Seminar Programs i i i | I i i Sunday, Juno 7 51 COAGULATION AND FILTRATION: BACK TO THE BASICS Water Quality Division Moderator: C.H.

At one time or another, almost everyone is asked to speak in front of a group. Whether it be an oral disser tation for college credit, a technical presentation for AWWA, or a local Boy Scout meeting, the experience can be frightening. But it does not have to be. Following are several hints to help you put together a bet ter program so you can relax and enjoy yourself. Probably the single most important criterion is to know the subject. If all the research is complete, you should feel comfortable with the topic. Devote some time to rehears ing the presentation and to developing thorough answers to any possible questions, especially in a panel discus sion. Chances are you will not be caught off guard; however, do not hesitate to admit not knowing the answer to a spe cific question; maybe another speaker or someone in the audience can help out. Knowing the subject elimi nates the necessity of reading word for word. Eye contact, adlibbing, a clear distinguish able voice, uml u little humor set much better with an audience than the droning monotone of someone with his nose stuck in his notes. A good speaker highlights key points and repeats them if necessary. Be concise; empha size the main points, and stick to your time limit--an audience can only absorb so much. Utilize visual aids to clarify your message and stimulate audience interest. Remember though, that slides need the same care in preparation as the commentary. Illustrations in textbooks do not necessarily lend themselves to slide projec tion. Once the slides are in the right format a good rule of thumb to follow is: If a 2 X 2 in. elide is readable without a magnifier, people in the rear seats probably can read them on the screen. Another hint concerning audiovisuals--check them per sonally. If you have this job to others, slides gel out of order, equipment refuses to work, and charts wander off. . Public speaking can be rewarding if you are are confi dent of your presentation. In turn, the audience will be receptive to the speech. So speak up and enjoy! AWWA RETURNS FOR ANNIVERSARY: (continued from page 7) to consider matters of special interest. The first such division was the Chemical and Bacterio logical Division (now the Water Quality Division), formed in 1913. At present, AWWA has four functional divisions--Water Quality, Resources, Distribution, and Management. An important step forward , in the expansion of association activity was the formation in 1914 of its first regional sec tion, the New York-New Jer sey Section. The Missouri Section was organized and first met in October of 1946 in Columbia, Mo. During the 1968 section meeting in St. Louis, a plaque was dedicated at Washington University memorializing the founding of AWWA on the campus and naming the 22 men who started it all. Banquet Wednesday, Luncheon Thursday This year AWWA has . changed the schedule for the centennial conference to include a special scientific luncheon to close the annual event on Thursday, The luncheon costs $10. The annual banquet will be on Wednesday night with the traditional passing'of the gavel. */ AWWA ANNUAL CONFERENCE )} AND EXPOSITION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM June 7*11,1981 St. Louis.

As a result of this review, two distinct approaches became apparent. An ad hoc committee of the General Pol icy Council reviewed these two approaches and decided to publish, for member comment, the statement listed below. The new statement com bines the 1977 statement on Governmental Assistance for Water Utility Construction with the policy statement on Administration of Government-Aided Water Util ity Construction Projects adopted by the Board of Direc tors on Jan. 28, 1978. The only change in wording is con tained in the first sentence where the phrase "undesirable in that they destroy the finan cial" now reads "undesirable in that they adversely affect the financial." A further change also was considered and is offered for member consideration and comment. In this case, the phrase "undesirable in that they destroy the financial" would be revised to read "undesirable if they adversely affect the financial." Board approval of the statement as listed below, would be accom panied by a request for the withdrawal of the 1978 policy statement on Administration of Government-Aided Water Utility Construction Projects. Before the General Policy Council may take action and send a recommendation to the AWWA Board of Directors, the policy statement must be pre sented to the membership for comment. Any comments should be sent to P.A. Schulte, Deputy Executive Director, AWWA, 6666 W. Quincy Ave., Denver, Colo. 80235, by Apr. 30, 1981. Governmental Assistance Por Water Utility Construction The American Water Works Association, (AWWA) believes that governmental grants to aid water utilities in the con struction of necessary facilities are undesirable in that they adversely affect the financial and manage rial independence neces sary to self-sustained business-like operations. Recognizing, however, the unforseen heavy burdens that will be placed upon some utilities, small and large, by the require ments of PL 92-500 and 93523, the Association agrees that financial assistance may, in some instances, be necessary to permit timely compliance with the laws. In such case3, where utili ties find it impossible to attract private capital, without incurring burden some and unreasonable rates, the Association believes that governmental assistance furnished in the form of loans with deferred principal payments and minimal interest rates that will permit utilities to phase in the rate increases required to pay back the loans on a reasonable schedule or guaranteed loans by private lenders, as provided by PL 93-523, is the best means of provid ing this assistance. Inas much as many of the utili ties in critical situations will be privately or inves tor owned, it is particularly important that such loans be available to them as well as to communityowned systems. AWWA believes that con struction of water utility facilities that are to be funded in whole or in part with governmental assist ance can be best accom plished under a concept including: preparation of complete plans, specifica tions, and bidding docu ments by the owner or an independent firm retained by the owner; invitation, receipt, and analysis of competitive bids for the construction award of the construction contract on the basis of the best bid; and inspection of the con struction for compliance with the plans and specifi- CONTAMINATION IN MASSACHUSETTS: (continued from page 1) town's water supply aquifers. The ensuing public concern sparked an investigation of every public water supply well in Massachusetts by the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering. About half completed, the two-year study is looking for 13 volatile halogenated compounds that the US Environmental Protec tion Agency has yet to estab lish maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for. So far, the results are encour aging. About 800 wells have been tested since the study began. Only three wells were found to be contaminated above the Suggested No Adverse Response Levels (SNARLs) set by the USEPA for the volatile halogenated compounds. However, the three contami nated wells were not in use at the time. They had been placed on stand-by status because quality problems had already been identified. The waters in the investiga tion were analyzed by gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer methods. Paul Watson, DEQE sanitary engi neer, said "by far the majority of the groundwater sources have not given anything detectable by this method of analysis...this doesn't mean to say we don't find anything at alL.in some cases there are traces, but the chemicals found are below the EPA guidelines." The Boston Globe reports, however, that two suburban communities north ,,r ih,, with higher-th{ case rales are scrutinizing their drinking water as the culprit. In Acton, Mass., the town itself is sponsoring a longrange study of its high rate of birth defects. Officials are attempting to find out ifcon taminated drinking water is the cause. And an epidemiological study is underway in Woburn, Mass. A recent state public health department study showed that deaths from cancer in that city increased 17 percent between 1974 and 1978. Said Watson, "Two wells in Woburn were found to exceed the federal contaminant guide lines and were closed. The 'maining water supply is free contamination." cations by the owner or his representative. When a governmental agency offers a water utility financial assistance, AWWA strongly believes the condi-" dons of the assistance should not interfere with this concept. This requires that; 1. The water utility admin ister the construction project in accordance with its own estab lished or existing statutory procedures and not be required to institute new or different procedures simply for the con venience of the government agency, provided that the con ditions of the financial assis tance are met and fiscal integ rity is maintained. 2. If the water utility does not have qualified personnel experience in-the design and construction of water utility facilities available, a consult ing engineering firm expe rienced in this field be retained. 3. Selection of a consulting engineering firm be based primarily on qualifications; selection solely on the basis of price is not in the public's best interest. 4. The construction to be performed be specifically . defined by complete plans and specifications subject to review by the agency as to adequacy and for conformance to the purpose of the financial assistance. 5. The construction con tractor be selected on the basis of a competitive bid procedure conforming to the law in the jurisdiction where the project is constructed and in accor dance with the water utility's normal procedures, including prequalification of contractors where this is practiced. 6. Surveillance and inspec tion of the construction be pro vided by the water utility' and/or its engineers to the extent necessary,to insure con formance with file construc tion contract provisions. 7.

The statement recommends that every utility develop and support training programs for all its employees, which include funds and time for attendance at schools, confer ences, and seminars. Recogniz ing the technological complex ity of the water industry as well as the rapid expansion of scientific knowledge-in the field, AWWA recommends employee training to ensure competent and skilled person nel for the operation of water supply facilities. The next step in the approv al of a policy statement is submission to the AWWA General Policy Council. Before the GPC may take action and send a recommendation to the AWWA Board of Directors, actions on policy statements must be presented to the AWWA membership for com ment. The policy statement on Employee Training is pub lished below. Any comments should be sent to P.A. Schulte, Deputy Executive Director, AWWA, 6666 W. Quincy Ave., Denver, Colo. 80235, by Apr. 30, 1981. Employee Training The American Water Works Association recom mends that every water utility establish a training program for all employees. The association further urges that each water util ity allocate adequate funds in its annual budget and support a vigorous training program to include formal training lessons, attend ance at educational and scientific conferences, spe cialty schools, and semin ars, as well as employee time spent in training. Because of the unique responsibility of the water util ity industry to the public health, safety, and conven ience, it is essential that man agers, supervisors, and opera tions personnel possess certain specialized skills. The continu ing complexity of the biologi cal, chemical, and technologi cal problems facing the indus try, as well as the massive capital investment in facilities, demands increased and con tinuing education to ensure competent and efficient opera tion of these facilities. The association further subscribes to the principle that the train ing be based on equal oppor tunity of all water utility employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or age, with the goal of providing quality water service to meet the pub lic demand. CARBON SYMPOSIUM: (continued from page 3} vated Carbon Adsorption of Organics From the Aqueous Phase," were published in 1980 by Ann Arbor Science Pub lishers, Inc. Manuscripts from these books were used extensively in the recently published National Academy of Sciences evaluation of activated carbon treatment. Since September 1978, significant progress has oeen made in both theoretical ind practical aspects of GAC reatment, and the upcoming onference will document this rogress. The conference is of interest > water supply professionals i utilities, government agenes, consulting firms, equip- ent manufacturing, universi!S, research laboratories, and dustry. McGuire said the sympoim would cover topics rang: from applied theory to engineering design and eco nomic evaluation. At least one half-day session will be devoted to each of six major topics including carbon adsorption theory, structure and surface effects, modeling and adsorption interactions, biological effects, pilot and large-scale studies, and design and economic factors. The final conference pro gram and registration infor mation appear in the February 16 issue of Chemical and Engineering News. Because of a cooperative agreement with ACS, members of AWWA may register at the conference as though they were members of ACS. Registration forms should be marked "AWWA member" to receive the lower rate of $65 for preregistrants. More information is avail able from McGuire at 714-593-7474. The town is now suing the companies suspected of releas ing the chemicals. Dioxane was one of the litigation-causing chemicals found in Bedford's water. Only recently has it been deter mined to be a carcinogen, and no maximum contaminant level has yet been established for it in drinking water. Harvard's Rudy Jaeger spoke to the evolving concept ofjust what "pure" wateris: "As state laboratories and other governmental agencies start getting sophisticated equipment, like gas chromato graphs and mass spectrome ters, they're beginning to find things that they never found before...water is no longer con sidered pure by a bacteriologi cal analysis but now needs to have this sophisticated GC mass spectral fingerprint on it." Western Water Subsidized Another interview of partic ular interest to water suppliers dealt with Boston's antiquated and leaking water mains. Brent Blackwelder of the Environmental Policy Center--a national public interest group--cited a nationwide survey of water and power rates to point up what he believes is a misallocation of federal water monies. The "shocking results" of the National Wildlife Founda tion study found that people in the Northeast pay more for their water and power than people in the West. And that federal funds for water projects (most of which are in the South and West), in effect, end up subsidizing the water bills of consumers in the South and West. Said Blackwelder, "It's an outrageous situation, and the only way it's going to stop is for the people in the Northeast to insist that their members don't support that kind of pork barrel and for them to insist that dramatic changes be made in the way federal dol lars on the water resources are spent" Politics of Scarcity. "Water Crisis" also took a rather cursory look at the complex water management policies of Californio. As the number .one agricultural state i:T the union, the Golden State identically dependent on its water supply. In what could be a harbin ger for other arid western states and their water-rich neighbors to the east, "NOVA" reported that the California legislature recently approved construction of the water transferring Peripheral Canal. This occurred only after a 15year battle between relatively water-rich northern California and the thirsty, rapidly growing southern part. Opposition to the canal pro ject came primarily from' farmers in the San Joaquin-Sacramento river delta. The ' new Peripheral Canal would bypass it entirely. This means delta fanners would lose some of the natural flushing action of the-river water as it passes through the delta. It now acts as a natural barrier to the salty water of nearby San Francisco Bay. Some conservationists and farmers want to use the canal water to replenish aquifers in the San Joaquin valley, where years of overpumping have reduced supplies to alarmingly low levels. Farther south, cities are also depending on the can al's water for their continued growth. Orange County Reuse "NOVA" also spotlighted futuristic water reuse in the planned community of Irvine Ranch, located in surburban Orange County south of Los Angeles. The television pro gram studied an irrigation sys tem where nearly all public and private irrigation is accomplished with the com munity's own sewage plant effluent. This innovative community atso pumps highly treated sewage effluent into aquifers acting as barriers to coastal seawater that would otherwise seep in. It was estimated that -after three months, the . . recharge water from these aquifers is probably drawn up for consumption by various Orange County communities. '.' PBS headquarters in Washington, D.C., estimated : that 1.6 million people in the,y'; United States watched "The Water Crisis" its first time outi: Most stations air "NOVA" segments at least twice, and .. PBS sells the programs to - ' more than 20 foreign countries.
