Manganese Well Mitigation

Manganese Well Mitigation

Abstract

  • CUWCD water transmission system that supplies water to Orem, Vineyard and Saratoga Springs 
  • Receives water from 2 sources:
    • Don A. Christiansen Regional Treatment Plant in Orem
    • Deep groundwater wells in Vineyard 
  • Wells 8, 9, and 10 have high manganese and iron concentrations
    • Turbidity and faucet staining
    • Produces metallic‐tasting water
    • Promote bacterial growth
    • Manganese can cause incrustation in the water main
