Avon Lake Regional Water will be the first Northeast Ohio utility to employ a promising new technology developed in Asia that produces the chemicals required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to treat drinking water.
The pilot project, facilitated by the Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA) and created by South Korean technology company Techwin, will install a system that uses salt and an electrochemical process to make high-concentrate sodium hypochlorite, an EPA-required water treatment compound.
