Costly Routine Maintenance Coming to City Water System

The Sierra Madre City Council awarded a contract to the Carbon Activated Corporation for the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Replacement Project as part of Sierra Madre’s water filter system.

The system constructed in 2005 to remove traces of ground water contamination. This is the first replacement of the system since its construction.

Bruce Inman, the Director of Public Works, called the project “a costly, routine maintenance item”. Despite its heavy cost – weighing in at $153,000 – Sierra Madre has “actually been fortunate”, according to Inman.

He says this replacement has been budgeted annually since 2005, but it is the first time that Sierra Madre has had to actually replace the GAC component.
