Stones River Completes $40m Plant Upgrade

Stones River Water Treatment Plant in Tennessee, USA, has completed a $40m upgrade to generate up to 20 million gallons of clean potable drinking water each day.

The upgrades have increased the plant’s capacity to 20 million gallons per day, along with improved protection from microbial pathogens.

Innovative piping helped the plant to operate its granular activated carbon absorption basins either prior to or after membrane filtration.

The plant features ten cylinders, each containing thousands of razor-thin, Teflon-like strands to filter impurities, according to murfreesboropost.com.

The facility is the only lime-softening water treatment plant with largest membrane filtration system and the largest on-site sodium hypochlorite system installation in Tennessee.

Upgrades at the plant were overseen by Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Department.
