Water Production Plant
The new water plant, located at 1020 Columbus Road was completed and in full production in late 1998. All components inside the new plant are under one roof and the design enables the plant to be easily expanded. The plant has two clarifiers and recarbonation basins that allow this plant to produce 6.1 million gallons of water per day. There are cluster filters (1 filter with 4 cells) and two stripper towers that handle any possible contamination from volatile organic chemicals. When it comes to waste, all the sludge that is produced by the lime softening process is pumped over to the Wastewater Control Plant. After the water has been softened and chlorinated, it is stored in two 750,000 gallon clearwells until it is then pumped into the distribution system and out to our customers.
