Will there be any groundwater contamination from the solids drying basins?
No. Due to time limited circumstances associated with obtaining the groundwater discharge permit for the solids drying basins, the City Council approved the staff’s recommendation for the redesign of the water treatment plant's solid handling facilities from the solid drying basins to a closed loop tank storage system. This system will alleviate any possibility for groundwater contamination.
