Water Treatment Plant

The water treatment plant operates seven days a week and pumps water for eight hours each day. The current plant was completed in August 2017 at a cost of $3.8 million funded by various state grants and loans along with a federal grant for $750,000. The plant uses chemical treatment to soften and reverse osmosis to purify water sourced from three local wells. Finished water is stored in a 1.5-million-gallon reservoir which feeds the Borough, as well as a 100,000-gallon elevated storage tank used to pressurize water for residents who live at higher elevations.

Ford City Water Treatment Plant was recently featured in the March 2020 case study conducted by Laxness company. To read the full case study click LaxNess Energizing Chemistry Water Case Study
