Water Treatment standard by 0.1 NTU with no chemical treatment. The results of this pilot test have been so convincing that a second Orival filter was purchased and set up as a fully automatic self-cleaning filtration system requiring no operator intervention. The pilot unit will be incorporated into the local treated water reservoir building, with a new submersible pump that has sufficient output to make the unit fully automatic as well. Supply at the pilot location is from two dug-outs formerly feeding the small drinking water plant. A heated building and large supply means this site could remain open year-round for industrial and firefighting use. The rural dug-out location will be seasonal only. More automatic filters are to be purchased as the program expands, and the county is considering a by-law that will require all agricultural water to come from filtered dugouts.
