CBS 11 i-Team watches as my company inspects and cleans a north Texas water tower.

November 7th, 2014, Ginger Allen and the CBS 11 i-Team watches as my company inspects and cleans a north Texas water tower. The tower was cleaned as a normal maintenance procedure. A light- brown dusting of sediment was removed from the interior floor before it could get deep enough to support bacteria and become a problem.   The tower was cleaned by a Commercial Diver who was trained at OCEAN CORP, Houston, Texas. The Diver is sealed in his own environment, then washed down with a chlorine solution. Because we specialize in the inspection and cleaning of Potable Water Storage Facilities, all of our equipment is purchased for, and only used in, potable water. This utility is doing a great job of maintaining their system. However, utility managers across the country struggle to get the funds to properly maintain their systems. The EPA is currently considering a regulation that would require all water storage facilities to be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. This new requirement could improve the water quality for millions of Americans.

Ron Perrin Speaks to News Crew

The EPA is taking comments on this proposed regulation until the end of the year. We have the contact information posted on our blog, or you can just take our poll at: www.cleanwatertankproject.com. The poll results will be turned in to the EPA at the end of the year.

Calcium carbonate build up that was removerd from a 20

Calcium carbonate  removal from a 20″ water plant line.

We went into the line as far as we could reach but due to the fact that

it was only a 20″ line we could not get back far enough.  Still this was

good experience in calcium carbonate  removal.

This is a problem in many plants and can effect gated and valves.  When the pipe 30 to 36″

diver can  effectively free up butterfly valves or open clogged lines.
