Treating Water FOR PHOENIX

摘要

If you were to ask anybody, "What's the one most important thing you peed in the desert?" The typical answer would most likely be "water." Obviously, you can't do much else without it. That's why the desert region of central Arizona is now the site of North America's largest design-build water project: the $336-million Lake Pleasant Water Treatment Plant, just northeast of Phoenix. The Phoenix metropolitan area has had explosive growth in the last several years, and the trend shows no sign of blowing down. In anticipation of fur-ther population increases and expansion into the city's northern suburbs, the new Lake Pleasant water treatment facility was designed to provide high-quality drinking water for an additional 300,000 homes in the next two decades.
