Potential Solutions: CSD is conduting planning study to seek solution to resolve arsenic problem. - The existing water supply facilities for Caruthers include four (4) wells, Numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5. Well No. 1 (flow rate of 350 gpm) is not used except in the summer months. The four (4) wells have a pumping capacity of 3050 gpm, which is adequate for the current population. The water from Well No's 3, 4, and 5 have Arsenic levels of 8, 20, and 12 ppb, respectively, with Well No's 4 and 5 being above the new Federal limit of 10 ppb. These existing 2 wells require treatment for Arsenic removal. The arsenic is in the form of arsenite (As III) and must be pre-oxidized to form an arsenate (As V) species for highest removal efficiency. In general, the pH of the water must be reduced to approximately 7.5 to facilitate conversion to arsenate. - Arsenic levels in excess of the MCL in the drinking water for Caruthers Community Service District. - Water service pressure and supply not reliable. - INADEQUATE SUPPLY DURING SUMMER MONTHS - Existing standby power facilities at Well No. 4 has exceeded the design life expectancy and is presently experiencing operational difficulties.
