Mission Statement:
To provide potable water which consistently meets all quality and pressure standards of the
State of
Recent
Accomplishments:
The Department resolved
the issues surround detention time in the primary settlement basins. After
considering a number of alternatives such as modifying the headwall, building a
new settlement basin, and installation of settling
tubes, the detention time was reduced through a change in chemical mix. The
Department is now using polyaluminum chloride, a
reagent which has recently been authorized for use as a flocculent for potable
water. This change will enable the Department to reduce its settling times and
save the capital cost and increased maintenance associated with mechanical
devices which would accelerate settling. This change has the additional benefit
of extending filter life.
Goals:
- To develop a Consumer Confidence Report as
required by Virginia Law.
- To properly regulate the outflow from the
detention basin to prevent downstream sewer surcharge.
- To promote the installation of fire meters on
for commercial properties.
