Aurora, Colorado operates two water treatment facilities that supply potable water for its
300,000 customers. In 1999, the 80-mgd Griswold Water Treatment Facility was re-built
and chlorine dioxide replaced chlorine as the primary disinfectant. By replacing chlorine,
the concentration of disinfection byproducts was reduced, while maintaining the benefits of
pre-oxidation. In 2002, a needs assessment indicated that a similar strategy should be
implemented at the City's 80-mgd Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant. This paper
discusses design and operational considerations for use of chlorine dioxide with chlorine,
describes some of the synergistic benefits from the use of both oxidants, and summarizes
improvements in water
quality that have been
achieved at Wemlinger
Water Treatment Plant. Includes tables, figures, appendix.
