In a world where access to clean drinking water is often taken for granted, the story of Houston's Southeast Water Purification Plant stands out as a testament to excellence and efficiency.
FOX 26 Reporter Tom Zizka explains how one purification plant is among the best water plants in Texas.We take clean drinking water for granted, and probably don't give much thought about how it gets to the faucet. Water headlines are often bad: lead contamination in Flint, Michigan; the failure of a treatment plant in Jackson, Mississippi; even a power outage that forced a boil-water notice inlast November.
"Once that water, which has most of the heavy solids out of it, goes over the tops of the filters, the filters finish it off," says Houston water's Ken Brown. "The water is pristine once it goes over those filters."If you're inclined to challenge the comment about 'pristine' water, readings at the end of filtration show it's significantly cleaner than standards required for bottled water.
