water treatment facilities

Municipal filtration centers

Water treatment facilities are plants or installations that process water to make it suitable for a specific purpose, most commonly drinking or safe discharge into the environment.

Municipal water treatment facilities clean and disinfect water from reservoirs, rivers, or groundwater before distributing it to homes and businesses.

Wastewater treatment facilities handle sewage and industrial effluent, removing contaminants before the water returns to natural waterways.

The city invested millions in upgrading its water treatment facilities to meet new environmental standards.
