“Upgrades have been added to the treatment process including ozone. In contact with raw water, ozone neutralizes waterborne cysts and oxidizes most of the organics (taste, color, and odor). Ozone is also used in contact with water following the settling step to enhance the filtration process and further reduce organics. In addition, a 50% filtration capacity has been added to the facility. This will provide the necessary treatment capacity to meet both water demand and regulatory compliance for years to come. And finally, in the name of fiscal economization, new pumps, new electrical systems, and a new residuals de-watering system have been installed.”
