A public water agency in California contacted Xylem to treat remove arsenic from a groundwater supply. They needed to achieve a 1 ppb effluent level from the treatment system, 90% lower than the current drinking water standard in California. In addition they needed to have the treatment operating within weeks.

The source of the contaminated water was located approximately 250 meters away from the municipal well, at a former industrial site. Upon learning of the elevated test results, the state issued a “do not drink” order to the 450 residents served by the municipal water supply until the water source could pass quality testing again.
