Alameda County Water District |
PO Box 5110, 43885 S. Grimmer Blvd. |
Company Profile: The Alameda County Water District (ACWD), located in the San Francisco Bay Area, supplies water to a population of 320,000 people in the cities of Fremont, Newark, and Union City in southern Alameda County, California. ACWD’s mission of providing a reliable supply of high quality water at a reasonable price is met through advanced surface water treatment techniques such as ozonation-biological filtration at a state-of-the-art 21-mgd water treatment plant, and the use of ultrafiltration membranes in the upgrade of an existing 10-mgd water treatment plant to be completed in early 2004. In the spring of 2003, ACWD will also have a 5-mgd brackish water desalination plant on-line that is believed to be the first of its type in municipal water service in Northern California. Finally, by 2005, an 8-mgd groundwater treatment plant using RO membranes is expected to be in operation for demineralization and hardness reduction. |
