Introduction

A picturesque location in Fall River, CA featuring an Airbnb cabin, faced a critical challenge with its water supply. Sourced from a river that also served as a watering spot for livestock, the water required thorough disinfection to be deemed safe for guests.

Problem

The need for potable water was paramount for this property’s hospitality services. The proximity of livestock to the water source heightened the risk of contamination, necessitating a robust treatment solution to ensure guest safety and regulatory compliance.

Solution

BWS developed a coagulation/multi-tiered filtration and disinfection system to transform the river water into a potable supply:

• Coagulant Introduction: To facilitate the removal of finer particles and enhance the clarity of the water, a coagulant was added during the treatment process.
• Filtration System Installation: A robust filtration system was the first line of defense, designed to remove particulates and impurities from the river water.
• Chlorination for Disinfection: Chlorination was employed to eliminate pathogens effectively, providing the necessary level of disinfection for safe human consumption.
• Dual Storage Tanks: The system incorporated two small storage tanks, which were utilized to retain a chlorine residual. This step ensured continuous disinfection, maintaining potable water standards.
• Monitoring for Safety: To maintain the highest water quality standards, the system was equipped with monitoring capabilities to ensure the chlorine levels remained within the safe range for potable water.

Conclusion

This project illustrates BWS’s expertise in adapting to environmental challenges and providing safe, potable water solutions. By integrating advanced coagulation, filtration, and chlorination processes, BWS was able to deliver a reliable water treatment system that ensured the safety and satisfaction of the property’s guests. The installation serves as a benchmark for providing high-quality water treatment solutions in hospitality settings where water sources are susceptible to contamination.
