Town of Ione Water Treatment Facility

The Town of Ione’s wells contained significant amounts of iron and manganese that accumulated throughout the town. This sediment caused the steel piping to corrode and rupture. TD&H constructed a new facility to filter iron and manganese and remove arsenic to acceptable levels. TD&H developed an engineering report, environmental reports, cultural resource report, biological assessments, design plans, specifications, and a construction estimate. The treatment facility consists of a new masonry block building that houses 3 large dual media filters that are equipped with automatic backwash and forward flow cleaning, air compressors for pneumatic control valves, blowers for air sparge cleaning, and backwash storage tanks to allow metered flow into the Town’s sanitary sewer system.
