About 100 Peru households have been subject to a boil water order since Tuesday, August 17^th. Peru Water and Sewer Superintendent Greg Timmons is hopeful that that the order will be lifted sometime today. On Tuesday Peru’s Water Department staff drained and cleaned the Reservoir Rd. water tower necessitating the boil water order. The cleaning is part of an ongoing effort to reduce the town’s drinking water haloacetic acid levels and bring the town into compliance with EPA water quality standards. Peru Town Supervisor Peter Glusho says that significant progress has been made and that one of the acid levels has been brought into compliance. He said, “We’re looking for the most cost effective and the most permanent way to solve the problem.”  Town residents have been receiving periodic “Violation Notices” for the past three or four years. Greg Timmons says he sometimes gets about ten to fifteen phone calls from concerned residents when notices are issued. This is not surprising given the fact that the notice reads, “Some studies of people who drank chlorinated drinking water for 20-30 years show that long term exposure to disinfection by-products (possibly including haloacetic acids) is associated with an increased risk for certain types of cancer.” Read more »
