Engineering will eventually solve the water intake issue.

I believe the engineering has already been done, it's the retrofitting.
Great Britain doesn't seem to have the intake problems, but the zebra
invaded them in the 1800s. Their water facilities were built with the
zebra in mind. Here we have to $$retrofit$$.

Yeah.

I wonder if the zebra mussell handles organic pollutants like e.coli
and such?

We had an outbreak of e.coli contamination in Putnam this week and
their water source is Roseland Lake (mentioned above) which is
polluted with rain water runoff from local farms.
