WHEREAS, it has been determined that (1) the removal of
hardness using the ion exchange method requires sodium to be
I
added to the water; (2) sodium is thought to aggravate high blood
pressure in some people; (3) water sodium levels in excess of 125
mg/liter have been associated with increases of cardiovascular
disease; (4) studies have shown that artifically softening water
supplies can cause a rise in mortality rates; and (5) the changes
for legal action against the county could be increased due to
knowledge of potential health problems associated with sodium.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
Supervisors of Roanoke County that the County will not install
water softeners using the ion exchange method on County water
systems. Citizens who wish to soften their water should consider
installing individual units on their premises.
I
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County will continue to
study county wells which currently have softeners in order to
identify methods of reducing sodium levels in these wells.
