Construction will begin later this spring in Vernon Hills near corporate housing on what officials are calling a $13.5 million kindergarten center in the Chicagoland suburb. District 73 unanimously approved the project,but it didn’t get approval without its fair share of detractors and complaints. The Vernon Hills Planning and Zoning Commission actually recommended a denial of the project,but village board members overruled the commission and have decided to move forward with the massive project.

 

Built near short term rentals on the Vernon Hills Park District Sullivan Center,the project is set to be completed by Fall 2020 with construction starting in as little as a month from now,according to District 73 Board President Sonali Patil.

 

“We’re really glad it passed,” Patil told a reporter after the approval meeting. “Even with the closures due to the cold last week,we still worked extremely hard to coordinate with the village and park district to get everybody on the same page. Thankfully,it all lined up and we can get started.”

The next steps,according to Patil,are to immediately begin getting bids from construction firms in the area. The firm that lands the project will be excited to get the business due to the project being so valuable – a whopping $13.5 million.

 

The issue of money has actually been settled already in Vernon as District 73 already voted in January to sell the $13.5 million in bonds to fund the new kindergarten center near corporate housing.

 

Vernon Hills Mayor Roger Byrne himself actually felt compelled to post to Facebook ahead of the vote to assure his constituents that he supported the project and that he was confident that it would pass. Calling himself “grandpa” in the post,Byrne told voters that he supported the project and couldn’t think of a single person on the village board that opposed it.

A simple Google search for Californian water contamination reveals the tip of the iceberg.

• California has many, many water quality challenges. Local challenges are many. They are caused by both human actions and naturally occurring processes. Some contaminants come from past activities, such as mercury from mining, but many sources of pollution are ongoing. Additional pollutants continue to be identified.
• Small communities face chronic water quality problems. Almost 400 small rural water systems and schools can`t even provide safe drinking water. In some areas, nitrate—produced by nitrogen fertilizers and manure—has polluted local groundwater basins. Chemicals such as arsenic and chromium-6 are also a challenge. Treatment to remove contaminants is costly for small systems that do not benefit from economies of scale. Solutions for at-risk communities statewide would require additional expenditures of $30–$160 million annually -and this may grow as requirements are tightened.
• Salt buildup is a major water quality concern for cities and farms. It`s one of our most common pollutants. Salt occurs naturally in some soils but it`s also found in fertilizers, animal waste, and urban wastewater.
• Water quality has declined with the extended drought. River flows and reservoir releases help maintain water quality for aquatic species. During the present drought, low flows and extended heat have raised water temperatures and caused lower oxygen levels in rivers and streams. At Alkaway we have always understood that it`s the little guys who are at most risk. They don`t have the money to instal costly water purification systems, so they do the best they can, buying an off-the-shelf water filter that -especially in rural situations, only filters things they don`t need filtered – like chlorine and lead. A well or rainwater home has special requirements and here at AlkaWay we configure our water filter systems for just this need. Here at home we rely on both well water and rain water. We use a combination of high level sediment filter to catch the high sediment levels in the rainwater that feeds the kitchen, then our UltraStream to remove all the other contaminants that land on our roof, blown in from polluted, sprayed farmland. In this way the integrity of the UltraStream is preserved, giving high performance over a long time. Sediment is easily trapped prior to the UltraStream in a recyclable ceramic filter. This saves money on filter replacement while maintaining the very high level of filtration given to the UltraStream owner. If you don`t want to wait for the government to send you a water filter but understand you can`t get an off-the-shelf solution… Check us out.
