WATER PRODUCTION AND TREATMENT
|
|
The water supply at the Village of Jonesville is supplied by two wells each capable of pumping more than 500 gallons per minute. The water is treated to remove iron before it is pumped into the Village water distribution system. After the iron is removed, the water is disinfected with chlorine, and fluoride is added at recommended state levels. A 500 gallon spherical water tower provides storage, fire protection, and pressure throughout the Village. The iron removal plant is equipped with a permanent standby generator that will provide water during times of power failure.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
|
|
The Village of Jonesville recently upgraded the wastewater treatment facility. The upgrade will doubled the flow capacity from 0.3 million gallons per day to 0.61 million gallons per day. The new facility includes two new trickling filters and two new clarifiers designed to remove both biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen. The plant
is also equipped with pressure filters and ultraviolet light for disinfection. New bio-solids treatment and storage are also being constructed.
The plant, completed in August, 2005, is able to meet
new guidelines set by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality for discharge into the St. Joseph River.
