WATER QUALITY

Cleveland Water joined the Partnership for Safe Water in 1995. The partnership is designed to improving drinking water quality by optimizing surface water treatment plants’ performance. The partnership implements prevention programs above and beyond what current water quality rules and regulations mandate. The voluntary, four-phase program provides flexible technical tools allowing each plant to customize performance optimization at their own pace with limited capital spending.

Program benefits include: benchmarking Cleveland Water’s results against the program’s national database, training for plant operators and customizing procedures, software and manuals for water quality improvements. Looking ahead, Cleveland Water’s Garrett A. Morgan and Crown Waterworks Plants are nominated as 2010 Five-Year Directors Awardees. Previous award recipient included Cleveland Water’s Nottingham Waterworks Plant.
