The water treatment plant ensures our long-term ability to provide an abundant supply of safe, high-quality water for our growing community.

What's inside?

1. Forced draft aeration

The plant has two forced draft aerators. These aerators provide preliminary oxidation to the iron and release any dissolved gasses present in the water. They will also help limit the need for chlorine use in the drinking water.

2. Conventional filtration

The plant also has six conventional filters that filter iron and manganese from the water after aeration.

3. Backwash reclaim

Backwash water from the filters is sent to one of the two 250,000-gallon reclaim basins. The iron and manganese that is removed from the water is settled out in these basins. The clarified water is then suctioned from the top of this basin and pumped to the beginning where it is reused. This process allows for very little waste in the treatment process.
