Reply #16: The switch was discussed in the media last week. [View All]

So if you happened to be watching the newscast that night at that moment, you'd know it. I haven't noticed an article about it in the O yet. The newscast comment was so brief that I couldn't determine whether or not the switch was due to turbidity, but that is the only thing I can come up with. I haven't heard of any big pipe projects that would affect the transmission lines from Bull Run into town, so it pretty much only leaves turbidity.

I've been able to go up there, all the way to the lake (because of my previous job). It is absolutely serene. Sitting there on the porch of one of those old cabins by the lake, eating lunch and just listening to silence.

On one trip up there, we looked at one area next to the lake where water just... disappears... They don't know exactly where it goes.

TVWD has a fair bit of population growth- I'd think they'd *have* to do something at some point. It is nice to know they're thinking about other possiblilies. Goodness knows I'd not want to take a single drink of water from the Willamette, even though I've been all through a treatment plant that takes it from that to drinking water. Nope. No way. Ick.
