Milo Water District Ofc

The Milo Water District Office in Milo, Town of, ME operates a state-of-the-art Slow Sand Filtration Plant that meets the standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986. Designed by A. E. Hodsdon, Consulting Engineer of Waterville, Maine, and built by Brescia Construction of Clinton, Maine, the plant utilizes a 100-year-old technology to filter water drawn from the Sebec River, providing a triple barrier microscreen, sand filter, and disinfection to ensure the prevention of Giardia bacteria and other contaminants in the water system.

With a facility consisting of three filter beds, each holding 50,000 gallons of water, the Milo Water District Office employs a unique filtration method that includes a layer of granular activated carbon to enhance the removal of naturally occurring organics, reducing color and the formation of trihalomethanes. The treated water quality meets federal and state-imposed standards for turbidity and chlorine residual, making the facility highly efficient and requiring minimal manpower to operate.
