Nucla residents will have
cleaner, better tasting water,
now that 40 yards of "material"
has been pulled from the bottom
of the water tank. Public Works
superintendent, Carl Pender,
reported at last Wednesday's
Nucla Town Board meeting that
the material was "the same color
as the paint on the inside of the
tank," and that he'd believed
that the tank was pretty clean
until he saw the stuff that came
out of it.
Trustee Chris Daniels, who
watched individuals from the
company that cleaned the tank
don wet suits and dive to-the
bottom, described the material
as rust-colored and sand-like.
Pender believes it was material
from the flocculator. It was not
hazardous material, so. Pender
dumped it out On the ground
near the water treatment plant.
He explained that this company
recommended that the tank be
cleaned every two to five years.
