Technology is changing and in a decade from now I doubt that anyone will be building massive conventional plants / all those concrete basins! Membrane filtration now available provides certainty of removal via a physical barrier, with a smaller footprint and with high quality source water, a small footprint. Drawback, filter life, but then anthracite wears down as well. Following filtration, disinfection with CT (which can be in a buried pipe) and possibly pH adjustment for corrosion control are all that is needed. Unless the regs change. Is filtration avoidance with dual disinfection processes an option, as is the case with several systems using Lake Tahoe water?
