Report
Summary
The purpose of this contract is to provide the necessary services and material for replacement of arsenic adsorption media at well facilities to treat groundwater to meet Safe Drinking Water Act standards.
AdEdge will perform services including removal of spent adsorption media, installation of Garnet Filter Media, and installation of Bayoxide E33 Arsenic Adsorption Media at designated well facilities.
Due to fluctuations in usage during the water treatment plant shut-downs, the Division processes more chemical through the wells, to meet demand causing the adsorbtion media to be exhausted sooner.
