Treatment Plant
BCPUD Operation of Microfiltration Facility
On August 16, 1996, Bolinas Community Public Utility District began full-time
operation of a new water treatment plant. Filtration technology is
provided by Memtec,
a division of U.S. Filter, and a world leader in microfiltration applications.
Microfiltration forces the raw water through extremely fine mesh which results
in total removal of bacteria as well as cryptosporidium and
giardia.
Use of this process also significantly reduces the need for chemical treatment.
