Grand Forks Regional WTP – An Innovative Facility for Modern Water Quality Challenges

The City of Grand Forks recently commissioned a green field WTP that was decades in the making. The layout and treatment systems of the new facility take into account the flashy water quality of both the Red Lake and Red Rivers to dampen the affects of several factors, including sulfates, taste and odor, hardness, turbidity, and water availability. To maximize flexibility the facility was designed as a hybrid with four different treatment trains and includes both traditional and membrane treatment options.
