Details: | SUMMARY: Treatment Plant Recommendations DETAILS: Douglas County Parks owns and operates a Ground Water System at the Chief Miwaleta County Park. Water is taken from a well and treated for iron through a greensand filter. The water system is experiencing a significant amount of sediment which is causing issues with the 5 micron paper cartridge filters. It was suggested by the park’s pump contractor that the addition of alum might be recommended to assist with the Circuit Rider was previously contacted by Jon Everett to assist with investigating the addition of alum. Visited park and inspected treatment system. Made recommendations for relocation of filter backwash. Also recommended testing for iron and manganese as the sediment filter coloring seems to indicate high manganese levels. ACTION NEEDED: Follow up based on iron and manganese testing. |
