Is the Water Boiling? Council Orders Outside Audit of Water Departments
Angels Camp, CA...The Angels Camp City Council voted to 4-1 to order an outside audit of operations at the fresh and waste water operations at the City. Mayor Lynch made a presentation showing that the measurements at the City's treatment facilities have been as much as 25% off. In one instance the throughput was shown as significantly higher than was actually possible based on the water that was delivered to the plant...
At the center of the controversy is the citations that the City has been issued and the push for the infamous "4th Filter" at a cost approaching $1.5 Million dollars. The City was being forced "With a gun to their heads" as one Councilman said, because the incorrect measurements showed they were in violation when in reality they were still within legal limits.
Several members of the Council expressed concerns that they couldn't rely on the numbers they were being presented and feel they need an outside audit to restore their faith and also the public's faith in the City's handling of the departments.
