Sometimes, treated water is also supplied for industrial use or irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The processes used in water treatment can vary depending on the quality of the water source, but generally, the treatment plants use a series of methods to remove sediment from the water. From this point on, the water goes through a filtration process to remove remaining bacteria and solids, and finally, the water is disinfected before it is pumped out into the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, purifying water is only one aspect of the treatment plant operator\u2019s job. To ensure water can get to where it needs to go, massive pumps must maintain a constant pressure of 40 psi. If positive pressure is not maintained, groundwater could enter the system through cracks and joints in the pipes. The water treatment plant does all this 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constructing this infrastructure requires a high level of initial planning and requires both structural engineering, fluid mechanics, and associated machinery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to the U.N.\u2019S Sustainable Development Goal number 6, which was developed to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation to all.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every water treatment plant we build and service is done&nbsp; under the highest quality standards. You can find examples of this in the work we are doing in Texas at Houston\u2019s Northeast Water Purification Plant and the new surface water treatment plant just south of&nbsp; the state in Pearland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":172,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21150","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Building water treatment plants | Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Water treatment plants aim to reduce or eliminate water pollution.
