SUMMARY:
The ozone water treatment facilities at the Penitencia and Santa Teresa water treatment plants have been in service since 2004 and can produce 140 million gallons of treated water per day. The systems provide the essential disinfection, organic matter removal, and taste and odor removal required to produce high-quality drinking water.
Staff has maintained the ozone water treatment facilities in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. However, Valley Water's Asset Management and Preventive Maintenance Program has identified several ozone water treatment facility components that have reached or will, in the near future, reach the end of their useful and reliable service lives.
