This project will investigate water recovery for filter backwashing and rewashing operations at EPWU's surface water treatment plants. Water analysis includes bacterial content, turbidity, and an economic evaluation of viable options for treating the recovered water, including recycling to the head end of the treatment plant, membrane treatment via ultrafiltration or microfiltration, and disinfection via UV light.
