How Water Is Treated at This Plant

Water at Water Treatment Plant #2 goes through an advanced, multi-step process designed to produce high-quality drinking water while maximizing efficiency:

• Pre-treatment: Raw water is conditioned to prepare it for filtration.
• Membrane softening: A nanofiltration process removes minerals that cause hardness.
• Degasification: Dissolved gases are removed to improve water quality and stability.
• Disinfection: A disinfectant called chloramine is added to eliminate bacteria and viruses and keep water safe as it moves through the system.
• Corrosion control: Final treatment helps protect pipes and reduces the chance of metals entering the water from plumbing.

This plant also uses a highly efficient process that recovers most of the treated water, helping reduce waste and conserve resources.
