Document Description
The City of Garden Grove Wells 22, 26 and 27 PFAS Treatment Systems Project consists of installing seven ion exchange vessel systems in lead-lag configuration (six vessels at Well 22, four vessels at Well 26 and four vessels at Well 27) including the necessary piping, prefilters and related appurtenances. The main project objective is water quality improvement of PFAS-contaminated groundwater supplies via advanced treatment technology of ion exchange. Specifically, the proposed ion exchange treatment system is expected to remove PFOA and PFOS to less than 2 ppt (the current non-detect limit) and will ensure the treated groundwater can be safely served to the City of GG consumers and customers in compliance with PFAS drinking water regulations. Another important objective is to design, construct, permit and operate PFAS removal systems for the City of GG wells in accordance with OCWD PFAS
Policy.
