Sierra Pacific has made improvements to its water treatment facilities in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The SDWA requires water systems using surface water supplies to utilize filtration treatment.
Recent improvements to Sierra Pacific's water treatment system include:
Addition of a sedimentation removal basin and replacement of filters at the Glendale Water Treatment Plant.
Conversion of the Hunter Creek Water Treatment Plant to a covered treated water storage facility.
Construction of a 48 inch water main from the Chalk Bluff Water Treatment Plant to the Highland Water Storage Facility. (Construction on the Highland Water Storage Facility will begin this fall and be completed by spring 1997.)
