Our requirements are more stringent than the state's because of (Devils Lake) and because we're a closed basin. We set up a fairly stringent ordinance because we don't want anything more to get into the streams and cause harm to the water quality of the lake.

The existing filter has been redone and it will work and stay in place as asked for by Premier Gary Doer. We are committed not to run that outlet if either river is in flood stage and we're going to stand by our word.
