WELL WATER TREATMENT PLANT |
|
The
Retreat Meadows wells and treatment plant were constructed in the 1960’s and
70’s in response to a series of dry years. At that time, water was not
metered and summer usage was higher than it is today. This plant had not
supplied water to customers since 1989 when the Pleasant Valley Filtration
Plant was constructed. It has been kept operational during this time, but was
in need of modernizing upgrades. With the dry year we have experienced in
2001 and a slight increase in demand each year we plan to begin using this
plant on a regular basis. Pleasant Valley will remain our primary supply and
the Wells used as a supplement. This
plant is located on Route 30 just north of the Brattleboro Retreat. Plant
upgrades completed in 2003 included new chemical feed systems, modern control
systems for the filters and a loading door for taking deliveries. |
