The
Delphos Water System was created in 1896-97.
In
1946-1957 the Delphos Water System was expanded with the
inclusion of the North facility.
In 1933
the average daily use in the City was just under 400,000
gallons. Today’s usage, by contrast, is approximately
1,000,000 gallons per day.
In April
2006 the City of Delphos began demolition of the water
treatment plant and in May 2006 began construction of an
18,000 square foot building to be used for a new
treatment complex.
The
new water treatment plant uses a Lime Soda Ash filter
system for softening the water and a Granular Activated
Carbon filter system for removal of organics and taste
and odors. This new plant can process 3.75 million
gallons of water per day.
