Document Description
A "biofilm" of bacteria and algae has built up on the walls of the N.B. Aqueduct. A polyurethane "pig" will be pumped through the pipeline to clean biofilm from the sides of the pipe. The material will be pushed into the Travis Surge Tank and a solution of biofilm and water will be pumped from the tank to a 10 million gallon pond which will be reconstructed on the site of the three existing smaller settling ponds.
