Plant/Process Description:
The Eklutna Water Treatment Facility produces
water from the Eklutna Lake watershed, 119 square
miles within the Chugach State Park. This
Facility is designed to double its daily water
production from 35 mgd to 70 mgd when demand
requires it.
Eklutna Water Treatment Facility produced
8.1billion gallons, 85.8 percent of the total.
Well production combined for 13.8 percent of the
total, or 1.3 billion gallons.
Eklutna Lake is an exceptional source of raw
water. The water exceeds almost all water quality
standards prior to treatment. It is moderately
soft with a pH range between 7.5 - 8.4.
Turbidity levels range from 0.1 to 62
Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). Turbidity is
a measure of cloudiness in the water. Raw water
turbidity is measured to help determine levels of
treatment. High turbidity occurs during the
spring and summer when snow, ice and glacier melt
are the major sources of incoming lake water.
