Water System Description<br />
Treatment Facilities<br />
Currently, the <strong>City</strong>’s drinking water supplies undergo three forms <strong>of</strong> water quality treatment:<br />
disinfection, pH adjustment, and filtration.<br />
Disinfection<br />
The <strong>City</strong> operates and maintains chlorination<br />
facilities at each <strong>of</strong> its sources <strong>of</strong> supply. The <strong>City</strong><br />
maintains an approximate chlorine concentration <strong>of</strong><br />
0.2 ppm throughout the system. In the past the <strong>City</strong><br />
utilized gaseous chlorine as its primary method for<br />
disinfection. Staring in 2000, with the construction<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Tacoma Point treatment facility, the <strong>City</strong><br />
began replacing its gas chlorinators with less<br />
hazardous methods <strong>of</strong> chlorination. The Tacoma<br />
Point wells are currently disinfected via a liquid<br />
bleach (sodium hypochlorite – NaOCl) system.<br />
When the Ball Park treatment facility and the<br />
Grainger Springs and Victor Falls treatment projects were completed in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2005, both<br />
the <strong>City</strong>’s spring sources and the Ball Park wells were converted to onsite chlorine generation<br />
systems. In addition, a CT (chlorine Contact Time) <strong>of</strong> 6 is now maintained at both the Grainger<br />
Springs and Victor Falls sources.<br />
pH Control<br />
Corrosion control studies have indicated that the <strong>City</strong>’s Tacoma<br />
Point wells and Grainger Springs sources are both slightly<br />
corrosive. Therefore, the <strong>City</strong> currently operates and maintains a<br />
pH control facility (caustic soda - NaOH) at its Tacoma Point<br />
Wellfield. A second pH control facility was constructed at the<br />
Grainger Spring source and became operational in 2005.<br />
