The Green Water Treatment Plant opened as the Austin Filtration Plant in 1924 on the north shore of the Colorado River in Downtown Austin, which is now part of Lady Bird Lake. [1] The plant opened after the development of a chemical treatment for river water by Dr. E. P. Schoch of the University of Texas in 1923. [ 2 ]
Marcala The Marcala plant began in the Fall of 2007 and was completed in June 2008. The plant was upgraded in May 2011 to a flow rate of 3200 LPM. Cuatro Comunidades In the Fall of 2008, the AguaClara team designed a water treatment plant with shallower tanks that doesn't need an elevated platform for the plant operator. The full scale pilot ...

[4] In 1950, San Jose voters finally passed bonds to construct a new wastewater treatment facility. [4] In 1954, the city purchased land near Alviso for a wastewater treatment plant. The plant began operations ...
Advancements in water treatment technology have affected all areas of industrial water treatment. Although mechanical filtration, such as reverse osmosis , is widely employed to filter contaminants, other technologies including the use of ozone generators, wastewater evaporation, electrodeionization and bioremediation are also able to address ...
