COL IX Treatment Facility

 

In a continuing effort to supply the Tri-Valley with safe, reliable water that surpasses state and federal drinking water standards, Zone 7 is planning a water treatment system to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in the local groundwater at the Chain-of-Lakes (COL) Well site.
