Letters to the Editor (continued from page 16) done even some of the simplest testing and chlorination treatment of the water at Graydon in 2007, the DEP recommended that Graydon be replaced with a bona fide swimming pool in the future. One could surmise that this suggestion could be the simple, but very expensive, way out. However, lab tests have shown and new treatments have made it possible for Graydon to now exceed the DEP regulations and water purity standards. Let’s not allow the council, and others, to force this community to pay $10 million plus interest for an unnecessary structure that will raise the potential for greater flooding in our community. We are being told we will have to pay up to $750 per family in order to have two-and-a-half times more people standing side by side in a concrete, four foot tub of Clorox, one third the size of our current, natural, high water quality, Graydon Pool. Surely, this is one deal we can pass up! Sally Brandes Ridgewood Donald S. Uhlig Rusty Thompson Religious Notes The Rev.
