The Park Meadows Well, located in Park City, Utah is one of the key water sources utilized byPark City Municipal Corporation (PCMC). In 2001, the source was declared to be groundwaterunder the direct influence of surface water (GWUI) by the Utah Division of Drinking Water.Investigation into possible treatment options led to the pilot testing of disposable membranefiltration. Data collected during pilot testing indicated that the Park Meadows well water wasalready experiencing a high level of filtration naturally within the aquifer. An alternate treatmentstrategy was proposed utilizing "natural filtration" and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. This alternate approachwas approved by the Utah Division of Drinking Water and constructed in 2006, resulting in therestoration of the water source for use by PCMC. The construction cost incurred for the projectresulted in a savings of $380,000 to the community. Includes reference, table.
