Dear Mayor Hawk:
On August 24, 1978, our representative, Mr. Glenn R. Heath, Jr., P.E., in company
with Mr. W. G. Cline, Superintendent, made a sanitary survey of the subject water
system. As a result of this survey, the following item of non-compliance must be
grrected without further delay.
Monthly Reports of Water Works Operation must be compiled and a copy submitted
regularly each month to the Division of Water Hygiene, Texas Department of
Health, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas 78756. Our records indicate that
you have been irregular in submitting these reports at the end of each month.
Other items which should be completed as soon as practical so that your water system
may be operated and maintained in accordance with this Department's acceptable
practices are:
1. Adequate storage facilities should be provided for equipment, supplies and replace-
ment parts.
2. Chemical analysis of water samples collected from your distribution system on
July 19, 1977, indicated a chloride concentration of 489 mg/1, which exceeds the
maximum recommended constituent level of 300 mg/1. High chloride content increases
the corrosiveness of water and imparts a salty taste. Where there are persons
whose physicians have recommended a "salt free" diet, water from your system may
not be acceptable. Also indicated was a total dissolved solids concentration of
1,490 mg/1, which exceeds the recommended maximum level of 1,000 mg/l, and may
impart an objectionable taste. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider
demineralization of your present supply or the the securing an alternatesupplyanalternate
if possible.

We ask that you please advise this Department in writing within (30) days as to the
action to be taken on these items.
In conclusion, we wish to express the thanks and appreciation of our representative
for the courtesies extended him during this survey. Should clarification of any of
the items listed above be desired, please contact L. D. Thurman, P.E., Regional Director
for Environmental and Consumer Health Protection, 701 Directors Drive, Arlington, Texas

Dear Mrs. Rucker:
We are aware of the report of the Texas Department of Health re: the
Southlake water supply.
We can concur with the fact that there are many solutis in the Southlake
water supply which I feel may be hazardous to the health of the community.
Yours very truly,

Southlake City Council:
I am writing t.,ds letter in reference to your gater source heating.
For some time Ihave been very concerned with the water quality
in your city. Chemical analysis confirms what taste tests
suggest. The salinity level exceeds normal limits that have
been set for optimal health. Only time will tell if tIIe human
body will react to tae Southlake water as do the water faucets
in the city.
As a general dentist I am concerned with t_ae oral conditions
of my patients. Unless iron or fluoride levels are at improper
concentrations, the normal dentition of my patients will not be=
affected by the water supply. However, as a member of the
community health team, I am concerned with more than t:.e oral
cavity. I have concern for the total well being of my patients.
For this reason, I urge you to seriously consider taking the
necessary steps to secure an alternate fresh water supply for
your fine city.
Sincerely,
2z G L2<S

3.0 PROBLEM Part of draft of committee's Report to
Council)
b. PLUMBING - Due to the high chloride and dissolved solid
contents of the existing Trinity well water supply, all
Southlake citizens will or have experienced an abnormal
amount of plumbing problems. These problems manifest
themselves in reduced life of all appliances and
fixtures which contact water. To better understand
the reasons for the more rapid deterioration of appliances,
a partial chemical content analysis of Southlake's and
Fort Worth's water supply is presented for comparison:
Texas Dept. of
Southlake Fort Worth Health Recommended
Milligrams/ Milligrams/Max. Limits
Chemical Liter)Liter)Milligrams/Liter)
Chloride 494 38 250
Sodium 583 25
Total Dis-
solved Solids* 1,765 218 500
Includes B. Carbonate, Sulfate and various other
trace elements.
The exceptionally high chloride content increases the
corrosiveness character of the water. For instance,
an average hot water heater in the Fort Worth water
system would have a life expectancy of from 10 to 15
years whereas the Southlake's water supply reduces its
life expectancy to only 3 to 5 years. In addition, the
added accumulation of precipitated out" solids at the
bottom of the hot water tank causes a significant
heatloss, requiring more energy money) to achieve
desired temperature levels. Other appliances will
experience similar reduced life expectancies. Wherever
an appliance's protective finish has been damaged,
the metal is more quickly attacked by the water and
rust and corrosion is the result, i.e., ice makers
corrode and stop working, dish washer trays are
attacked by rust, washing machine tubs rust developing
leaks and plumbing fixtures exhibit dull appearance
finish damage) where water has accumulated on them
for a period of time).
Several precautions/maintenance items are presented to
help decrease the effects of Southlake's water supply on
appliances:
1) When replacing hot water heater, install cold
water cutoff valve and add pan under water tank
with an exterior drain.
2) Regularly drain hot water with heater set to
PILOT only, connect garden hose to drain valve
and expel water onto yard. This is best done
after hot water has been expended washing clothes
or bathing).
3) Quickly repair all leaky faucets.
4) Periodically inspect and repair all appliance
finishes which have been marred. Clean and coat
damaged areas with an epoxy paint or other water
proof compound.
e. QUANTITY The City of Southlake is supplied water
from two Trinity sand wells depth of 1600 feet).
Both wells have a pumping capability of 750 gallons
per minute. The water is stored in three tanks with
a total capacity of one million gallons. A 200,000
gallon ground level tank is located at city hall.
The elevated tank has a storage capacity of 500,000
gallons. Also located at the elevated site is a
300,000 gallon, ground level tank. This system serves
approximately 700 families. The maximum distribution
has typically been approximately 500,000 gallons per
day during the hot summer months with a minimum
distribution of approximately 160,000 gallons per day
during the winter months.
The capacity of these two wells and their storage
facilities, meet the short term water quantity needs
of the citizens of Southlake. However, planning and
action is required now to ensure that an adequate
water supply is available when the growth pattern of
the City dictates a need for extra capacity.
LANDSCAPING
Corinne Harty investigated the problem with landscaping
shrubs) in Southlake by interviewing several citizens and
businesses and the following is typical of the response to
those interviews.
The Eiland family has had 25 shrubs, 7 trees of which some
were fruit 8 crepe myrtles to die from using Southlake water.
These were planted by a professional nursery.
The Ragan plant farm lost plants and shrubs this past
summer when they used City water a few days while their
well was broken down.
Eighty dollars worth of shrubs died at the Derrell Johnson's
residence from the use of Southlake water.
Harty's had 3 shrubs to die in front of their house this
past summer when City was was used.
TASTE
The Committee has had unanimous feedback from persons in
Southlake regarding taste problems particularly in the use of
tea and coffee. It is evident that taste is a problem since
bottled water is sold in large quantities in our City.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Respond to inquiries and reports from appropriate
governmental agencies.
2. Begin immediate design and construction of two Paluxy
wells at existing well sites.
3. Select Engineering Firm to prepare design in 2. above
and to prepare feasibility study on future water supply.
See R.F.P. attached).
4. Develop financing plan through loans, grants, bonds or
combination of the three for Paluxy wells.
The Committee appreciates the opportunity to be of service
to the Community and will be happy to follow up on any specific
comment or idea from the Council.
DATE
CONSULTING ENGINEERING FIRMS
RE: Request for Proposals
Water Supply Study
The City of Southlake is experiencing water quality
problems with the existing water supply and additional
quantity will be needed in the near future as the population
continues to increase.
As a result of the needs listed above, the City of
Southlake respectfully requests a proposal from your firm to
perform the following scope of services:
1. Using data from NCTCOG, TDCA, past growth rates in
the City, and any other appropriate information,
project population to the year 2000.
2. Establish existing water use data and project water
use requirements to the year 2000.
3. Investigate alternative water supply sources both on
the short term immediate) needs and on the long term
permanent supply for the City.
4. Evaluate each viable alternative for both long term and
short term potential on the basis of reliability and
cost-effectiveness.
5. Discuss alternative financing plans available to the
City of Southlake and list any federal grants avail-
able and the criteria used to determine eligibility.
Present bound report in draft form to City Council in
20 copies for review and comment.
Following review and comment by City Council, make
appropriate revisions, if any, and present final report in
50 copies to the City.
