Hooper Water Improvement District
Hooper Water Treatment Plant
|
The district previously drilled a well that produced about 2700 gpm but the customers complained of taste and odor issues. AQUA worked with the district and their engineer to identify the primary culprit for the taste and odor as iron and manganese. A Pureflow pilot was operated onsite to determine the treatability of the water. Chlorine was used to oxidize the iron and manganese, and pressure filtration vessels were installed to filter the water. A backwash tank with a water recovery system was installed. The backwash water allows the iron and manganese settle to the bottom of the tank and the water on the top of the tank is fed back through the treatment system so there is a 99% recovery of the water pumped from the well. The solids are disposed of through the sanitary sewer system. AQUA’s service included equipment procurement, bidding document preparation, including technical specifications, and drawings. AQUA also conducted limited construction management for the project.
