Batavia

The sources of water (both tap water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds, reservoirs, suspension springs, and groundwater water wells. As water moves over the surface from the land or throughout the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials, and can pick up chemicals resulting from the presence of pets or liveliness. Batavia’s drinking water is a combination of shallow very well water and profound well water. Almost all water is driven to the city’s drinking water treatment plant in which the shallow well drinking water is filtered intended for the removal of iron, manganese and hydrogen sulphide and is then chlorinated, fluoridated and cured with a corrosion inhibitor before being combined in the ground storage space reservoir. The profound well water is usually processed at the treatment plant utilizing an HMO adsorption process intended for the removal of radium. Almost all water customers get the same blended hydrant.
