Lake Erie will soon become home to a water treatment process that is the first of its kind in the United States.
Through a partnership with the Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA) and South Korean technology company Techwin, Avon Lake Regional Water was chosen as a testing ground for a groundbreaking treatment system.
The new treatment technology hopes to make Avon Lake Water Filtration plant, 33370 Lake Road, completely self-sustaining, according to Avon Lake Regional Water Chief Utilities Executive Robert Monro.
“If this technology performs as anticipated, Avon Lake Regional Water will be the first water utility in the United States to install an on-site sodium hypochlorite generating system producing at a 12 percent solution,” Monro said. “This will not only allow Avon Lake Regional Water to become self-sufficient for disinfection purposes, other utilities in the region will also benefit economically by having another supply source for their disinfection needs at a below market price.”
