The Association
of California Water Agencies (ACWA) presented its
prestigious Clair A. Hill Water Agency Award for Excellence
to Carmichael Water District on May 5, 2004 at the
ACWA conference luncheon. CWD was selected from among
six finalists to receive the award for its innovative
microfiltration water treatment plant.|
The plant was custom designed to be compatible with
its residential setting. The District chose the membrane
filtration technology because of its size and capability
to treat the American River water.
Steve Nugent, General Manager, was project manager
of the water treatment plant project which was completed
four months ahead of schedule and was three percent
under budget.
Nugent said, “The District couldn’t have
done this without the community’s support. They
made us look at all the alternatives, demanded that
we do it the right way and made sure we made it the
best it could be.” |
