BAWA contracts
may save $30,000
By DAVID MOHLMAN
Baytown Area Water Authori-
ty plant manager Herb Thomas
estimates BAWA will save about
$30,000 on chemicals during 1987-
88, based on contracts awarded
Wednesday.
The BAWA Board of Directors
warded eight contracts for
chemicals used to treat and
purify raw water at the BAWA
plant.
During the coming year,
BAWA will pay less per ton than
last year for lime, ferric
chloride, carbon dioxide and
potassium permanganate, as
well as less per gallon for
polymer.
The vast majority of the sav-
ings will come in polymer cost,
Thomas told directors Calgon
Corp., which submitted the
lowest of four bids, got the con-
tract to supply polymer.
BAWA will pay $2 0984 per
gallon of polymer in the coming
year, versus $2.92 per gallon for
1986-87 Even though BAWA pro-
bably will buy slightly more
polymer during the coming year
than in 1986-87, that price dif-
ference should save about
$29,000, Thomas estimated
Panel makes
apartheid
proposals
CAPE TOWN, South Africa
<AP> J A presidential commis-
sion Thursday recommended the
biggest changes in South
Africa's system of legalized
racial segregation since apar-
theid laws went into effect in the
1950s
Even if the government
adopted the proposals in full,
however, most of South Africa
would remain racially
segregated.
A leading anti-apartheid
group, the United Democratic
Front, said Wednesday that the
advisory council proposal was a
"tragicomic farce" designed to
prolong while domination
The recommendations were
prepared over three years by a
17-member committee of the
President's . Council, an ap-
pointed. wi member advisory
body
They would do the following:
—Replace the Croup Areas
Act. which mandates racially
segregated neighborhoods, with
legislation that would allow
localities to establish
multiracial areas, subject to
veto by a government appointed
provincial administrator
Make possible voting , for
local authorities on a non-racial
basis in the new mixed com-
munities
— Scrap the law that
designates segregated public
amenities on a nationwide basis,
bu* allow local governments and
individuals to discriminate.
-Eliminate all segregated
business districts
The 250 page report w ill be
debated by the President's Coun-
cil, then presented to the
Cabinet . w hich is expected to an-
nounce its reaction next week
President P.W. Botha-has fre-
quently declared his support for
;r a*c i a 11 y segregated
neighborhoods, hospitals and
schools as ways of preserving
distinct cultures
But his appointment of the
study committee in 1984 was an
indication he was willing to ac-
cept some change
South Africa has 5 million
whites, who control the
yconomy, and 25.6 million
blacks, who have no vote in na-
tional affairs and who are
predominantly poor.

Che government has no objec-
tions to the recommendation to
abolish the 1953 Separate
Amenities Act

BAWA will pay a higher rate
during the coming year for ac-
tivated carbon, ammonia and
chlorine
Thomas recommended the se-
cond lowest bid — $622 per ton
from American Norit Co. — for
activated carbon. He said the
low bid of $598.30 per ton
specified an activated carbon
that would require at least dou-
ble the amount of American
Norit’s material to achieve the
desired results.
Actual chemical costs during a
year depend on customers' de-
mand for water and the quality
of raw water coming into the
plant, Thomas said after the
meeting. As water volume in-
creases and/or raw water quali-
ty decreases, more chemicals
are required in the treatment
process, he noted.
Thomas said his expectation of
$30,000 savings does include pro-
duction of slightly more water
during 1987-88 than in 1986-87
However, he said water quality
throughout the year is unpredic-
table
A year ago. Thomas said
reduced chemical costs should
save BAWA about $12,000 during
1986-87 compared to 1985-86
However, BAWA actually will
spend about $265,000 on
chemicals during 1986-87. com-
pared to $250,000 for 1985-86
