		Despite the elevated levels, base officials determined the housing area’s drinking water to be safe, providing residents let idle faucets (not used in six to eight hours) run for a minute or two.
		Air Force officials are in somewhat of a predicament because the legendary base will be turned over to Frankfurt International Airport by the end of 2005.
		Problems experienced on the air base include zero, low and high chlorine residuals, “stale” water during low demand, high total dissolved solids, water hardness, low water pressure during high demand periods and farmers digging their own wells on base for irrigation purposes.
