Walcott Water Plant. This plant supplies water to the City of Walcott and part of the businesses at the I-80 interchange. Currently we are producing approx. 200,000 gpd. This plants capacity is 1,440,000 gallons per day. |
 |
Our filter has 4 cells in it that backwash 1 at a time. When 1 cell is "cleaning" the other 3 are still producing water for our residents. We will be able to add another cell in the future as our community grows, as well as, we have the capabilities to add a 3rd well. |
 |
This photo contains what is called our "PRESSURE REDUCING SYSTEM". This system was installed to reduce the pressure from the plant to the City . |
 |
This photo shows our piping and to the far right is the backwash pump. The other 3 pumps are for the production of water from the wells. |
 |
This is the "COMPUTERIZED CONTROL ROOM" that monitors the complete function of the system. Daily tests are required by the IDNR for the safety of our consumers. We treat our water with Chlorine and Potassium Permanganate. |
