TO TRY AND TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THEIR HIGH-NITRATE-LEVELS-IN-THE-WATER ISSUE, SAN JUAN BAUTISTA CITY OFFICIALS DECIDED LAST NIGHT TO PURCHASE A NEW WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM. BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT (FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS), THE NITRATE LEVELS HAVE BEEN TOO HIGH FOR RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO USE THE WATER FROM THE TAP….AND BOILING IT JUST MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. AS A LONGER-TERM FIX, CITY OFFICIALS HAVE ALSO ASKED CITY STAFFERS TO LOOK INTO WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO HAVE A NEW WELL DRILLED.
