Marcinko said additional funds would come from the borough's water revenue and a general<br />

purpose bond taken out several years ago to renovate the borough building.<br />

The borough randomly samples the nitrate levels in the creek to make sure its drinking water is<br />

safe. As part of the consent agreement, AK Steel last year provided Zelienople with a reverse<br />

osmosis system for purifying water from Connoquenessing Creek.<br />

However, since the steel company changed its pickling process, its nitrate levels have dropped<br />

dramatically.<br />

Marcinko said even though nitrates may no longer be a problem, if sulfates and chlorides are<br />

found to be polluting the Connoquenessing, the company will have to continue the reverse<br />

osmosis system until the EPA consent order ends in January 2004. So far, the borough has not<br />

tested for sulfates and chlorides.<br />
