RE: Water Quality Problems
This report is intended to describe the extent and severity of the water quality
problems, to define the causes of the problems, to summarize corrective actions
which have been taken to -date, and to discuss other available options.
Water Quality Summary
Following is a summary of the chemical characteristics of the ground water
supply as obtained from the City's 8 Jordan aquifer wells
Brooklyn Center Normal
Characteristic Wells Standard
Total Iron, mg /L .05 to .10 0.30 (1)
Manganese, mg /L 0.2 to 0.4 0.05 (1)
Total Hardness, mg /L 320 to 370 None (2)
pH 7.3 to 8.0 6.5 to 8.5
Corrosivity High - --
The following comments are quoted from the 1983 Black and Veatch study of
our Water System.
(1) Re: "IRON AND MANGANESE. The maximum concentrations for iron and
manganese under the USEPA Secondary Standards are 0.3 mg /l and 0.05
mg /1, respectively. Greater concentrations are objectionable because
of the insoluble red and black compounds which are formed within
the water upon chlorination, aeration, or other means of oxidation.
These compounds cause staining of plumbing fixtures, spotting of
laundered clother, and accumulation of deposits in distribution
systems. Because of the chlorine demand and presence of turbidity
caused by the reaction, disinfection and maintenance of a chlorine
residual within the distribution system is subject to interference.
"74c Saa /U'Vq ;l &U
October 14, 1983 - G.G. Splinter
Page 2
Additionally, the presence of iron and manganese may result in the
growth of slime forming iron bacteria which can cause a chlorine
demand, and result in taste and odor problems in the distribution
system.
All seven existing wells have manganese concentrations well above
the recommended limits. Although the iron concentrations for all
existing City wells are below the recommended limits, the general
water quality associated with the Jordan aquifer indicates high iron
concentrations may be a problem in the future."
(2) Re: "HARDNESS. Water hardness is measured as the concentration of
divalent metallic ions, principally calcium and magnesium. The
requirements for soap and detergents are directly related to water
hardness. Of particular importance is the tendency for development
of scale due to hardness when water is heated. This scale shortens
the useful life of water heaters, pipes, and fixtures.
There are no applicable regulatory standards for hardness at this
time. Acceptable levels of hardness are generally based on economics
and consumer preference. A hardness of 200 to 250 mg 11 may be
acceptable for some areas where home water softeners are used to
suit individual preference. For hardness levels above 300 to 350
mg /l, treatment of the water supplied to the distribution system
is generally recommended. The total hardness for the existing well
field exceeds 300 mg /l which indicates treatment for softening
should be considered."
From the above, it would appear that our major problems should be caused by
the high level of manganese and by the hardness of the water.
In fact, our experience does indicate a number of "black- water" complaints
throughout the City (indicating the high manganese level). However, nearly
all of these problems occur only in hot water and can almost always be
corrected by regular flushing of the water heaters. No other serious problems
appear to be attributable to manganese.
Regarding the high level of hardness, this is a "fact-of-life" which most
Brooklyn Center residents have seemed to accept and cope with by the use of
water softeners. We estimate that at least 95% of all homes in Brooklyn
Center are using water softeners.
In addition to the manganese- related complaints and the hardness problem,
we also receive a number of taste and odor complaints. These are usually
related to one or more of the other complaints i.e. red or black water,
hardness, etc.
October 14, 1983 - G.G. Splinter
Page 3
Most red - water, black - water, hardness and taste- and -odor problems could
be eliminated by construction and operation of a water treatment plant.
However, a 1980 study by Black and Veatch indicated that the costs to
construct a water treatment plant would be approximately $13 million
(1980 cost). Because the total costs (for capitalization of this invest-
ment and for operation and maintenance of the plant) would require.
increasing water rates to approximately 5 times the present rate, the
City Council has previously ruled out the construction of a treatment
plant.
Severe Problem Area
During the past 3 years an effort has been made to maintain better records
of citizen complaints regarding water quality. During this time it has
become obvious that there is one area in the City where the water quality
problems are substantially more severe than in the rest of the City. This
is the area West of Noble Avenue, between 61st Avenue and I -94.
Within this area, we receive more black -water and taste - and -odor complaints
than from any other comparable sized area within the City. In addition,
many red -water complaints (which are relatively rare throughout the rest
of the City - as should be expected from the low iron levels at the wells)
are received from residents within this area.
A detailed review of the water distribution system serving this area shows
the following factors which appear to contribute to the concentration of
problems within this area:
1. The location of the area within the distribution system is such
that no trunk lines flow through the area. As a result, the entire
network in this area has no continuous flow.
2. Most mains within the area are 4 ", 6" or 8" in diameter - and
there area some dead -end mains within the area.
3. Several samples of water main pipe taken from the system within
the area indicate that these mains are "unlined" cast -iron pipe.
Our current standards call for any new water mains to be lined
with a cement - mortar lining, to prevent corrosion from occurring
within the mains. Construction documents and records for pipe
used in this area do not indicate whether the pipe used here was
lined or unlined. However, the samples tested, and other informa-
tion lead us to believe that none of the pipe in this area was
lined.
Chemical testing of water samples taken from within this area in the summer
of 1983 shows the following:
Characteristic Area Samples
Total Iron 0.20 to 4.50
Manganese 0.15 to 0.36
Total Hardness 320 to 350
pH 7.1 to 7.2
October 14, 1983 - G.G. Splinter
Page 4
These tests indicate that while the other characteristics of water in this
portion of the distribution system essentially retain the same levels that
are found at the wells, the iron concentration has risen dramatically.
The only apparent conclusion that can be reached is that corrosion is
occurring within the unlined mains in this area and are concentrating here
due to the lack of circulation within the system.
Corrective Actions Taken In 1982
During 1982 the Public Utility Department attempted to correct the problem
by:
1. flushing mains and hydrants within the problem area
2. superchlorinating particularly troublesome sections of main, then
flushing these mains; and
3. introducing a sequestering agent (sodium polyphosphate) into the
water supply at our wells. Sequestering agents do not remove
metallic ions from solution, rather, they are supposed to tie
them up to help prevent accumulation and precipitation of
deposits.
Unfortunately, the positive results of these efforts were minimal and
short - lived.
Corrective Actions Taken In 1983
During 1983 the following actions have been taken:
1. changed to the use of a "film forming" chemical inhibitor (zinc
orthophosphate) in lieu of the sequestering agent.
The concept behind this chemical is that when it is continuously
added to the water supply, it will form a very thin protective
coating of zinc on all surfaces within the distribution system.
This film tends to inhibit the metallic corrosion - thereby
reducing the red -water problem.
2. all mains within the problem area have been flushed at least twice,
some 3 times.
3. the amount of chlorine fed into the water supply has been increased
to assure that a "chlorine residual" is maintained throughout the
system to prevent the growth of iron bacteria within the system.
4. extensive testing has been accomplished (see discussion above)
5. additional testing is being done in order to monitor the results
of the chemical inhibitor. This includes the installation of 3
manholes within the problem area to allow access for monitoring
"test coupons" inserted into the mains, to test the effectiveness
of chemical inhibitors.
October 14, 1983 - G.G. Splinter
Page 5
Although we are unsure how effective these measures will prove, we are
cautiously optimistic that they will produce a measureable improvement of
water quality within the problem area. We realize that some problems will
continue to occur. However, at this point we hope to keep them at a
tolerable level without major capital investment.
Oth Options
Other possible solutions for this problem area have been considered. These
include the following:
1. Other Chemical Treatment
Comment: We are continuing to review other chemical inhibitors.
However, we feel they must be tested one -at -a -time, over a consid-
erable period, in order to allow a meaningful evaluation. Despite
the assistance provided by the City of Minneapolis, Black and Veatch
and Serco Laboratories, to -date we have not been able to identify
any other chemical which has any more promise than the zinc
orthophosphate.
2. Installation of "In- Line" Pumps Within the System in the Problem
Area
Comment: This appears to offer some hope. However, a detailed
hydraulic analysis is needed to determine whether an in —line
pump would be effective for more than one or two blocks.
3. Cement - Lining of Inplace Water Mains
Comment: This is a possible, but expensive solution. Estimated
costs are $35.00 per foot. With more than 30,000 feet of pipe
within the problem area, the costs could reach more than $1.0
million. Even with this kind of investment, the problem might
still not be eliminated because:
a) cement lining of small- diameter pipe is difficult and has
some history of failure.
b) we are uncertain as to the exact limits and origin of the
problem. It is possible that corrosion could occur in areas
outside of the ro'ect area in which the i i Lined then
P J pipe e s
have the red -water problem "migrate" into the newly lined
mains.
4. Replacement of Old Mains
Comment: This is even more expensive than cement Lining the Inplace
mains. With an estimated cost of $50.00 per foot, the total cost
could exceed $1.5 million. Obviously, by installing new cement-
lined pipe the problem of in -line corrosion would be eliminated.
However, the possibility of migration from adjacent areas would
still exist.
October la, 1983 - G.G. Splinter

Summary and Recommendations
While the problems noted are frustrating for City officials - and much more
so for the citizens within the problem area - it must be noted that the
problem is an esthetic one - not a health problem.
If either of the two high -cost options (cement - lining or replacement) are
selected, it is obvious that the City would have to levy special assessments
to recover a major share of the costs. Such assessments would undoubtedly
be objectionable to a high percentage of residents in the area (some of
whom report no problems).
Accordingly, I recommend that the City continue to use and monitor the
low -cost options which we have initiated. As noted above, we are cautiously
optimistic that an acceptable level of service can be attained without
extensive capital improvements.

RE: City Hall Boiler Repair
Attached is a copy of Moorhead Machinery & Boiler Company's proposal to repair
the second boiler at City Hall.
The first boiler has been repaired, pressure tested, and placed in operation
at a cost just under $2,000.
Moorhead proposes to repair the second boiler at a cost not to exceed $3,370.
The reasons for the higher costs on the second boiler are:
1. This boiler has greater damage to the insulation and casing panels,
which must be repaired and /or replaced.
2. This quote includes furnishing 6 new tubes. We estimate that 2 to 4
tubes which have r i 1 repaired ai need to be replaced now.
ev ous been
p y p
The other tubes will be kept in stock - to allow immediate replacement
in the event of a future leak (thereby avoiding a 10 to 30 day waiting
period).
Adequate funds are available in the 1983 Government Buildings budget, i.e.
$5,900 was budgeted for "Boiler Element Replacement
Because this expenditure exceeds $2,000, City Council approval is required.
