Body
WHEREAS, continued growth on the East Bank of St. Charles Parish at the post Katrina stage could affect the water supply which could be diminished by the summer of 2006; and,
WHEREAS, the water treatment capacity of the existing plants are presently at approximately 88% capacity and cannot exceed 90% capacity to allow down time for cleaning of filters and clarifiers; and,
WHEREAS, higher water consumption on the East Bank of St. Charles Parish could affect personal water usage as well as adequate supply of water for the Fire Departments; and,
