Three drinking water treatment plants with different performance capacities have been constructed within the last few years. The treatment chains, developed and proven systematically over decades, were applied consistently in each of the treatment plants. Accordingly, the construction and operations costs were greatly reduced, in addition to a significant increase in the security of the treatment process. The future does not lie in extreme experimentation, but rather in the utilisation of the large investment in water resources protection through reliable drinking water treatment processes adjusted to each particular situation and able to adapt to short term disruptions in raw water quality.
