Control Container Systems asked the council to make an exception, so it can burn a large brush pile next month. The pile would be 30 feet in diameter. Waterloo has banned burning brush, leaves and other yard waste for 13 years. And the council traditionally denies these requests from businesses. After Waterloo Water Works found an elevated amount of nitrate in one of its water wells last week, officials are searching for answers. The maximum level of nitrate for one water source is 10 milligrams per liter, friday the water was sitting at 10point7. Waterloo water works immediately shut off the well and advised residents and warned that the old water wasnt safe for babies. Once that well was off, all the other water being produced by the system was being substantially below 10. 7, so it very quickly blended with that water. Typically were all drinking blended water anyway from a number of different sources. Tonight at 10 Waterloo Water Works tells us where it believes the nitrate was from, and what it plans to do moving forward.
