The City of Arlingtonb recerives raw water from the Tarrant regional Water District.This District supplies wate rfrom the Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers reservoirs located in eastern Texas.The potential for taste and odor in Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers is relatively high due to warm summer temepratures,shallow depth and potential for algae growth.A portion of the water is delivered directly to the City's John F.Kubala Water Treatment Plant (JKWTP),while the remainder of this water is ultimately delivered to Lake Arlington where mixes with local runoff.Raw water to the Pierce Burch WTP (PBWTP) is fed directly from a pump station on Lake Arlington.A treatability study was conducted for the City's two water soruces to detemrine the impact of zone and GAC on taste and odor characterisitcs.In addition,the ability of enhanced coagulation and hte ozone and GAC systems to meet the proposed requrieemtns of the enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (ESWTR) and Disinfectant/Disinfection By-products (D/DBP) Rule was evaluated.
