Summary: Proposed improvements to the existing water treatment plant include the addition of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, two additional clarifier-filter trains, and the expansion of the existing water treatment plant building. UV light is a common, cost-effective treatment method used by water treatment plants and is typically more effective than chlorine for treating pathogens such as Cryptosporidium.
