| WATER QUALITY REPORTS
These reports are intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the Carpentersville Water Department to provide safe drinking water.
The water treatment system consists of aeration, filtration, ion exchange softening, chlorination and fluoridation. Four shallow wells with a combined capacity of 7,200 gallons per minute (gpm) provide Carpentersville with an adequate water source (ground water). Three wells pumping simultaneously deliver 5,000 gpm through a force draft aerator to remove or reduce undesirable gases and to begin the oxidation of soluble iron and manganese. Following aeration, the water flows into a 120,000 gallon detention tank where the oxidation process is completed. The water then passes through eight dual media gravity filters where the now insoluble iron and manganese substances are removed.
After filtration, the water is pumped through eight ion exchange softening units then to a 1,000,000 gallon storage tank. Four high service pumps with a combined capacity of 7,000 gpm operate on demand from the water level in a 120 foot standpipe located in the distribution system.
Additional water storage includes a 750,000 gallon tower, 1,500,000 gallon tower, and a 1,000,000 gallon ground water storage tank.
Distribution of water through out the different pressure zones within the Village is accomplished by the use of two Booster Stations, one motor operated valve and eleven pressure reducing valves
The entire municipal water supply is chlorinated and fluoridated before entering the distribution center.
