Water Treatment facility

A new water treatment facility is coming to the Town of Lakeview.

Town of Lakeview (“Town”) Town is home to approximately 2,300 persons and is located in Lake County, Oregon. Town is managed by a town manager. The town manager oversees the public works department, fire department, police department, and city hall administration. The public works department oversees the town’s municipal utilities (water and wastewater) and transportation system (streets). The public works crew operates and maintains the public facilities that are provided by the Town.

Town’s water supply suffers from heightened levels of iron and manganese. Additionally, town has shut off its “north well” as a result of arsenic levels. Town’s recently updated water system master plan contemplates the construction of a new water treatment facility to address iron and manganese (in addition to performing ordinary municipal water treatment processes) and construction of an arsenic treatment facility at the north well, allowing that well to rejoin the system.
