Milford's water is drawn from four ground water wells. Each well is rated to produce 550 gallons per minute (gpm) situated along the Little Miami River. Ground water is naturally "hard" and requires that we soften to reduce the hardness of the water. Water is pumped to our treatment plant where it is soften, aerated, and filtered. The final step in the treatment process is the addition of fluoride and chlorine. Fluoride is added to help prevent tooth decay and chlorine is added for disinfection. The water is then pumped from our treatment plant to our two elevated storage tanks which have a combined storage of 795,000 gallons. Milford finished water has the following characteristics at the customer's tap… Milford’s average plant production is 735,000 gallons per day (gpd). This production varies depending on the season and weather conditions. |
