Details: | SUMMARY: Request for assistance with equipment recommendations for pH control for WTP-A. DETAILS: The Wickiup Water District owns and operates 2 water treatment plants to treat surface water that supply water to approximately 620 connections with a population of approximately 1,702 people. WTP-A is a slow sand filter plant rated for 100 gpm. WTP-B is a package treatment plant with coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and rapid sand filtration rated for 150 gpm. The plant was designed for 175 gpm, however, the maximum output is 150 gpm due to the poor water quality produced at 175 gpm. Both plants have post hypochlorination. Received assistance request from Daryl Gardner, operator for WWD. The district has recently failed a lead/copper test. The district requested assistance with equipment recommendations at WTP-A for pH adjustment for corrosion control. Spoke with operator about failed lead/copper test and about assistance that was needed. Looked at possible application point for WTP-A for chemical additional for corrosion control. Have begun research on the need for corrosion control due the failed lead/copper test and the proper chemical addition and equipment that may be needed at WTP-A. ACTION NEEDED: Complete research and submit report with recommendations to district. |
