To meet new federal regulations aimed at reducing gastrointestinal illness from Giardia and Cryptosporidium microbes, the Marlborough plant will use ultraviolet light. The combination of treatments will allow for a reduction in the amount of ozone that is added to the water, which in turn will reduce our ozone operating expenses to offset increased operating […]

West Basin to use Ozone Pretreatment for Water Reclamation
West Basin’s Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility in El Segundo, CA will be undergoing its fourth expansion since its original construction in 1995. The facility which currently produces 30 million gallons per day (MGD) is being expanded by an additional 16 MGD. Under the expansion, water purification facilities will be expanded to produce an […]
Milwaukee Water Safe With the Help of Ozone Water Treatment
Cryptosporidium has not been detected in Milwaukee’s drinking water coming out of the Linnwood treatment plant on the Lake Michigan shore since 2002 or the Howard Ave. plant on the south side since 1999.

Yorba Linda to Switch to Ozone Water Treatment as the Primary Disinfectant of Drinking Water
The Diemer Water Treatment Plant in Yorba Linda shut down for a week to prepare for new equipment. The shutdown will allow crews to upgrade the plant so that it can use ozone as the water’s primary disinfectant, rather than chlorine compounds. Substituting ozone for chlorine compounds as the primary disinfectant reduces the potential for […]
Anaheim to Demonstrate Ozone Wastewater Reclamation
The city of Anaheim, California has awarded a municipal water reuse system contract for a demonstration facility that will supply reclaimed water for toilet flushing, irrigation, and recreational use. The project is the first ozone-based technology to be accepted by the California Department of Public Health. Ozone is widely used in a variety of water […]

Lucas Greenhouses will use Ozone and Biological Filtration to Recycle Water
Lucas Greenhouses is working on the installation of ozone water treatment systems. The goal of the company is to operate a complete water containment system that generates zero runoff. The greenhouses are set up to collect the runoff. The water will eventually go through a biological filter and then be sent to a retention pond. […]
Ozone to Prevent Brown Water for New Jersey Residents
High level of algae in the Canoe Brook Reservoir on John F. Kennedy Parkway created brown water for residents of the area. Last summer the algae was more prevalent due to many days of sunshine that encouraged algae growth. This made the problem more difficult for the water treatment facility. New Jersey American Water has […]
