    The city’s Director of Public Works Donald Burden says if less is used, the cost goes down.

    At a time when the costs of everything is going up, the city of Corner Brook is saving a little with lower costs for water treatment chemicals. The issue was discussed at this week’s public meeting. Deputy Mayor Linda Chaisosn says a two year contract for the supply of soda ash will cost slightly less than $159K. As well, a tender for the supply of Polyaluminium Chloride Coagulant will cost just under $774K. Councillor Vaughn Granter asked if this is based on what is used. The city’s officer Donald Burden says if less is used, the cost goes down. Mayor Jim Parsons says last year, officials looked at ways to reduce the amount of coagulant used.
