Municipal Water Treatment

Water Treatment for Cities, Schools & Public Buildings

Reliable, safe water is essential for every public space, from schools and municipal offices to parks, libraries, and recreation centers.

Robert B. Hill Co. partners with cities, counties, and public institutions to design water treatment systems that meet strict safety standards, improve efficiency, and build public trust.

With more than 65 years of experience, we deliver custom solutions that keep facilities running smoothly while protecting the health of every person who depends on your water.

1. Initial Assessment and Analysis

The first crucial step in treating municipal water is conducting a comprehensive assessment and analysis of the water source. Robert B. Hill Co’s team of experts evaluates the source water’s quality, identifying potential contaminants and determining the specific challenges unique to each municipality. This initial assessment is fundamental for crafting an effective treatment plan.

2. Customized Treatment Plans

One of the strengths of Robert B. Hill Co is its ability to create customized treatment plans tailored to the needs of each municipality. These plans consider the water source’s characteristics, local regulations, and the desired water quality standards.

3. Chemical Treatment

To address contaminants and impurities, chemical treatment is often employed. Robert B. Hill Co utilizes a precise combination of chemicals to coagulate, flocculate, and remove particulate matter, ensuring that the water is prepared for subsequent treatment steps.

4. Advanced Filtration

Filtration plays a pivotal role in removing residual impurities from the water. Robert B. Hill Co employs state-of-the-art filtration technologies, including sand, multimedia, and activated carbon filters, to provide the highest level of water clarity and quality.

5. Disinfection and Pathogen Removal

Robert B. Hill Co. is committed to eliminating harmful microorganisms from municipal water supplies. Utilizing disinfection methods such as chlorine, ozone, or UV treatment, they ensure that the water is safe for consumption by eliminating bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

6. pH Adjustment and Corrosion Control

7. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance

After the treatment process is complete, Robert B. Hill Co. continues to play an active role in the municipality’s water quality maintenance. Regular water quality monitoring, compliance with regulations, and proactive maintenance ensure that the water supply remains consistently safe and reliable.

7. PFAS Removal

In recent years, concerns have arisen over the presence of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water supplies. Robert B. Hill Co. recognizes the importance of addressing PFAS contamination in municipal water sources. To tackle this issue, they employ specialized PFAS removal technologies and methods.

Advanced Testing and Monitoring: Recognizing the persistence and potential health risks associated with PFAS compounds, Robert B. Hill Co. conducts advanced testing and monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of PFAS removal efforts. This ongoing monitoring ensures that PFAS levels remain well below regulatory limits.

Activated Carbon Filtration: One effective method Robert B. Hill Co. employs for PFAS removal is activated carbon filtration. Activated carbon adsorbs PFAS compounds, reducing their concentration in the treated water. This method is highly effective and widely recognized for its reliability.

Ion Exchange Resins: Another approach to PFAS removal is using ion exchange resins. Robert B. Hill Co employs ion exchange systems that selectively capture PFAS ions, removing them from the water. This method is particularly useful when dealing with high PFAS concentrations.
