Zelienople to buy water from Beaver Falls
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – Pittsburgh Post Gazette – May 20, 2007
Still, it’s a pricey proposition, having the authority lay 11 miles of pipeline will cost Zelienople up to $7 million, which compares with $5 million or so to repair the borough’s existing tanks. The difference, he said, is that repairing the existing system would leave Zelienople with a good, but, nonetheless, aging, system. “At the end of that, we still have the same water supply, the same water treatment facilities,” he said. With the new waterline, “we’d also get the advantage of anybody who’d tap in. and that’s a significant monetary advantage,” Mr.

But as Waukesha Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak pointed out to us last summer, the water that would be drawn from the radium-free shallow aquifer would be returned to the Fox River and thus the marsh through the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Although some water might be lost in the process, the city essentially would be simply recycling it. Waukesha was among 42 public and private water utilities that the state Department of Natural Resources required to comply with federal standards on radium by December 2006. As of February,12 utilities, including Waukesha, were still not in compliance. Failure to meet the standards could result in prosecution by the state Department of Justice and daily fines of up to $5,000. State officials wisely declined to prosecute communities that were sincerely working toward meeting the standards. By condemning the land and using its power of eminent domain to build the wells, Waukesha has shown that it is serious…
State officials wisely declined to prosecute communities that were sincerely working toward meeting the standards. By condemning the land and using its power of eminent domain to build the wells, Waukesha has shown that it is serious.

Climate change puts nuclear energy into hot water
International Herald Tribune – May 20, 2007
But significant amounts of electricity would be lost in transmitting to faraway inland population centers. In Australia, where there is fierce debate about whether to build nuclear plants, politicians in Queensland State commissioned a report published last year that concluded there are few seaside sites available. The report also warned that building nuclear plants inland would be a major threat to water supplies in a country already stricken by drought. In the United States, where at least two-thirds of nuclear plants are on lakes and rivers, the group Public Citizen reported a shutdown last year at a plant in Michigan, and slowdowns at plants in Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania, because of hot conditions. Public Citizen also has warned that building a new nuclear plant in Illinois at Clinton Lake, which covers about 20 square kilometers, or 8 square miles, would lower water levels and elevate temperatures at a time when drought conditions are expected to worsen in the U. Midwest because of climate change.
