•Case Study: One Process Removes Arsenic & Iron From Water In Small Utah Town

The Safe Drinking Water Act brought with it tough arsenic compliance standards, forcing cities large and small to comply with a maximum contaminant level of 10 parts per billion (ppb) or face stiff fines and even the potential shutdown of wells. Smaller towns such as Cannonville, Utah, face the most difficult challenge, due to manpower and budget constraints. Cannonville turned to Filtronics, Inc., of Anaheim, California, and its unique proprietary arsenic removal process.

Filtronics provides systems that process up to 29 million gallons per day, but it was naturally one of their more compact FV series vertical filters—equipped with Electromedia I—that helped Cannonville and its population of just 200 people. Located near Bryce Canyon National Park, Cannonville is a small community with an understandably small public-service budget. "We looked at some other ways to remove arsenic," said Mayor Al Fletcher, "but disposal was costly."
