Commission hears water‑quality update; chlorides trending up though DNR template limits reporting options
Summary
Staff explained the utility submits data to DNR and the agency returns a standardized report template; commissioners noted chloride concentrations around 150 mg/L with an upward trend and were advised to contact utility manager Mike Meyer for details.
Commissioners requested clarification on why chlorides were not included in a recent water‑quality report. Staff explained that the utility provides monitoring data to the state and that the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) returns a standardized report template the utility must use, which limits which parameters appear in the published document.
A commissioner noted that observed chloride concentrations are near 150 milligrams per liter and that the regulatory limit is 250 mg/L; members said the trend is upward and that the issue warrants further monitoring.
