The city strives to make their drinking water system among the most progressive in the country. Over time the plant’s treatment processes has evolved to improve drinking water quality. The maximum water production capacity recently increased to meet demand...

The Lincoln Avenue Water Company needed a treatment system for the removal of perchlorate from their primary wells. The company provides 2,000 gpm of drinking water to the community of Altadena, California. Recent water analysis from the wells indicated perchlorate levels above California's Public Health goal of 6 ppb.

California Water Service Company had acquired another water company with approximately 100 connections, in Porterville, California, located in a remote agricultural area of the Central Valley.  Their annual well testing had shown levels of nitrate at or near the Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) of 45 ppm and perchlorate was found in the groundwater at levels above the Public Health Goal (PHG) of 10 ppb. A treatment system was needed to remove both these contaminants to ensure quality potable water for the local community.

Water is the lifeblood of community and industry in the picturesque seacoast towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Wells, Maine ... where tourism, farming, and commercial fishing help drive the local economy. That’s why, when two prevalent perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) — were detected...

In response to changing water quality requirements, the water treatment plant was taking corrective actions to ensure it was producing the best water possible. Excessive algae can clog intake screens, cause pH levels to fluctuate, increase chlorine demand, and negatively affect the taste and smell of water. One of the goals of its latest water improvement project was to reduce algae build-up in its settling basins.

The Moon Township Municipal Authority (MTMA) provides water service to 8,500 water customers in Moon Township; 9,500 sewage customers in Moon, Crescent and South Heights; and wholesale sewage treatment services to three other townships. MTMA originally was a well only water supplier. To meet growing demand raw water from the Ohio River was added in 2003.

After the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reduced the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for arsenic presence in drinking water from 50 ppb to 10 ppb. The Pinckney School District sought a solution for treatment of arsenic, tested at 20-25 ppb, and to be compliant with the new requirements.

The City of Fresno, CA was forced to seek a solution to return previously contaminated and closed drinking well sites online in order to answer it's population increases and possible summer drought conditions These wells had been removed from service due to nitrate levels above the State of California maximum contamination level.

Municipalities are often faced with VOC contamination of their source wells. Chemicals like Vinyl Chloride and Trichloroethylene can leach into aquifers used as source water for municipal wells. When this occurs, in many cases the most cost-effective solution is to treat the water to remove the VOCs using air stripping, which has been established as a Best Available Control Technology BACT for this application.

The German municipal waterworks SWU Energy provides 162,000 people per day with potable water. This encompasses a distribution system of approximately 760 kilometres in Ulm, Neu-Ulm and the neighboring districts. More than 11 million cubic metres of water per year come from the valleys of Donau and Iller. The sedimentary nature of the region ensures the high quality of the water which is distributed by twelve pumping stations and ten high-level reservoirs.

The city of Scottsdale, Arizona, a community of more than 200,000 residents was historically totally dependent on groundwater resources. By the mid 1980's, the city began putting together a multi-faceted water resource program to provide the community with a long-term sustainable water supply.

Fraser Coast Regional Council (FCRC), through Wide Bay Water (WBW), a commercialized business unit of the Council, maintains numerous water supply schemes throughout the region, including remote reservoirs. Reservoirs offer security of potable water supply to the community despite seasonal demands. Additional chlorination may be required to ensure the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines are met. 

The small unincorporated township of Stratmoor Hills is located in the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain in Southern Colorado Springs. It offers its residents stunning views, a lively cultural mix, and a convenient commute to the Fort Carson U.S. Army installation, making it a popular place for military families to live. The community’s water security is the responsibility of the Stratmoor Hills Water District (SHWD), which oversees a combination of surface and groundwater sources.

Like many communities in the desert southwest, Phoenix, Arizona's water supply includes wells with arsenic concentrations exceeding 10 ppb. Long before the USEPA revised the arsenic rule from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10, the City of Phoenix began bench and pilot scale studies for arsenic removal options. Early investigations focused on well-known processes like activated alumina and ion exchange as well as less proven concepts such as coagulation-assisted microfiltration.

A public water agency in California contacted Xylem to treat remove arsenic from a groundwater supply. They needed to achieve a 1 ppb effluent level from the treatment system, 90% lower than the current drinking water standard in California. In addition they needed to have the treatment operating within weeks.

Klomac, the Southern African agent for Wallace & Tiernan® products, has successfully completed the supply and installation of chlorine and ammonia dosing equipment at Rand Water’s Mapleton Pumping Station as part of that station’s upgrading and expansion programme. The Wallace and Tiernan equipment includes four Model V2000™ automatic chlorinators rated at 40 kg/h each, four ammonium hydroxide dosing pumps and GMS chlorine gas leak detection equipment.

Northumbrian Water provides water supply and sewerage services to a population of 2.7m in the north east and 1.8m in the south east of England, delivering 1,100 MLD of drinking water. Potable water treatment works vary from small groundwater sources to large surface water treatment facilities. Their Mosswood Water Treatment Works in County Durham treats 135 MLD of water by clarification, filtration and chlorination.

The Water Division provides continuous high quality water to approximately 43,500 that call Moline home. It utilizes the Mississippi River as its source to treat, pump, and meter water to over 17,000 homes and businesses. The variable quality of the water in the Mississippi source poses unique treatment challenges to the Water Division. Moline’s LT2 water study revealed that significant levels of Cryptosporidium are periodically present in the source water.

The 34 MGD Otay Water Treatment Plant in San Diego, California serves a population of approx. 200,000. The plant receives raw water from two sources - imported water from the Colorado River and runoff from three local reservoirs.
