EPCOR Water recognized for safe drinking water efforts

March 31:

PHOENIX, AZ, March 31, 2014 -- The Partnership for Safe Water, an alliance of the six largest drinking water organizations, has honored EPCOR Water (USA) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPCOR Utilities Inc., with the Director's Award of Recognition for the Anthem Water Treatment Facility's successful completion of Phase III of the Self-Assessment and Peer Review portion of the Partnership's Treatment Optimization program.
EPCOR Water USA's Anthem plant, located in Anthem, Ariz., is one of the first membrane treatment facilities in the United States and only the third facility in the state to achieve the Director's Award. Accordingly, fewer than two percent of water utilities in the country have achieved this recognition. Phase III includes comprehensive evaluation of treatment plant operations and performance, identification of performance limiting factors, and the development of action plans to achieve optimization.
The Partnership for Safe Water is a program developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) along with other partner organizations to guide water suppliers towards improving water quality by optimizing system operations without increasing operating costs. EPCOR Water USA will be one of a select group of utilities honored by the Partnership for Safe Water at the Annual Conference of the American Water Works Association held in Boston, Mass., on June 8-12, 2014.
