He said that page two is a flow <br />diagram showing it as it is today. Mr. Campbell pointed out that everything in <br />red on page two has been added since 1987. He pointed out that four filters <br />had been added which are large items along with two large basins, and a new <br />rapid mix streaming current monitor. Mr. Johns asked if land had been <br />purchased. Mr. Campbell replied that land was purchased for the spray fields. <br />Mr. Campbell said that mainly these expansions were done in order to meet the <br />water quality standards, and the expansion was above and beyond that because <br />once they met a certain level, then there was the next level that the city could go <br />to, which would be a lot cheaper and that is where the city is at this time. Mr. <br />Campbell directed attention to the top of the page so that everyone would see <br />facilities which serve Lamar Power Partners, showing pumps, lagoon, meter and <br />control valves. He stated that this equipment is all new. Mr. Campbell <br />explained that the water comes in from the lake and goes into the lagoon and <br /> <br /> <br />
