Water-plant staff report manganese spike and ongoing storm response
Summary
Plant staff described storm-response checks, a recent manganese spike and the plant's disinfection approach; they said they used 'monothermies' and had technicians onsite overnight to stabilize operations.
Water-plant staff described responding to a storm overnight, conducting function checks and working to stabilize supply after a manganese spike at the lake. The operator said crews remained at the plant during the storm and performed checks to make sure equipment did not fail.
On treatment, the operator explained the plant's disinfectant approach: 'For our water, we use monothermies, which is, the spring chlorine, and we add liquid ammonium sulfate to that. When we do that, it makes monothermies ... it stays in the system longer.' Staff said they are evaluating countermeasures to address manganese and to protect distribution quality.
