No
quantity problems reported by Moline
- just algae.
|
|
|
|
Moline reports RI & E. Moline
have the same issue but are controlling it.
Have inquiry in to RI & E.Moline.
Appears to be routine summer algae treatment regime.
|
|
|
|
Davenport IA plant capacity is
reportedly stressed - 32 MGD demand - 30 MGD plant rating & short filter
runs due to algae.

WATER RESERVOIRS

|
|
Most
water supplies not using Lake Michigan
source water are operating under water use restrictions.
|
|
|
|
Elgin (does not have any water use restrictions
in place, voluntary conservation has been requested) and Aurora are augmenting their surface water
withdrawals with their groundwater supplies.
|
|
|
|
Surface
water flows are adequate at these supplies and increased groundwater withdrawal is
normal at this time of year.
|
|
|
|
Elgin does not have any water
use restrictions in place and has requested voluntary conservation
measures. Joliet remains on a water ban.
|
|
|
|
Aqua
Illinois‑Kankakee continues to have an adequate supply.
|
|
|
|
Note:
Detailed report to follow next week.
