A $45-million rebuild of the Holmedale water treatment plant in near Brantford, ON Canada is currently underway with an estimated completion date sometime in the summer of 2011.
The rebuild will involve replacing the water filter beds, replacing a high-lift pumping station and adding an ultraviolet disinfecting feature as a backup to the existing chlorination process.
An ozonation process will also be added in which ozone is used to pretreat organic material in the water. Ozone is increasingly being used for pretreatment of water for applications such as organic removal.
