Angle Wells, Ozone and Membranes - A Great Combination Jim Lennington, Bartlett & West, Inc.

TheSouthCentralWaterDistrict’s(SCWD)NorthBurleighWaterTreatmentFacilityincorporates:(1)anglewellsundertheeastbankoftheMissouriRiver;(2)ozoneforoxidationofironandmanganese;(3)microfiltration membranes for removal of pathogens andtheoxidizedironandmanganese;(4)lowpressurereverseosmosisforsoftening;and(5)ozonefordisinfection.Thisuniquecombinationrepresentsseveral firsts for public water systems in the region.

SCWDneededareliablehighqualitysourceofsupplyforitsnewwatertreatmentfacility9milesnorth of Bismarck, and angle wells fit the bill. Traditionally,wellshavebeenhorizontalorvertical,witheachhavingadvantagesanddisadvantagesunderparticularsituations.However,anglewellsareincreasinglybecomingapreferredmethodofwatersourceextractioninshallowaquifersandalongwaterchannels.Particularlypromisingapplicationsincludesituations where groundwater is under the influence of surfacewater(e.g.,beneathariver).Relativelynewtowaterproduction,angledwellshelpbalancefourkeyconstraints:transmissivity,drawdown,waterqualityandinstallationcost.

TheSCWDprojectincludedtheinstallationofanglewellsdirectlyundertheriverbedoftheMissouriRiverwithabout18to30feetofnaturaloccurringsandabovethewellscreen.Atthisdepth,testpumping

SCWD’sconsultantfortheanglewellsandtreatmentfacility,Bartlett&West,Inc.,determinedthatusingverticalwellswithshortwellscreensinathinaquiferzonewouldnotprovidetheyieldneeded,atleastnotwithout30ormoremultipleverticalwells.Theanglewellsincreasethelengthofwellscreeninthetargetedwaterzone,sincethescreenisinstalledatashallowangleof23degreesorless,allowingmoreofthehigh quality groundwater to flow from the well.

Thousandsofresearchstudiesand60yearsofexperience have shown that water fluoridation is safe,effectiveandthebestmethodofimprovingoralhealthinacommunity.

Fluorideisnaturallypresentinallwatersources, even the ocean. Water fluoridation is the controlled adjustment of the natural fluoride concentrationinapublicwatersupplyuptoalevelrecommendedforpreventingtoothdecay.

Water fluoridation is recognized as one of the 10majorpublichealthachievementsofthe20thcenturybytheCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(CDC).

Althoughtoothdecayislargelypreventable,itremainsthemostcommonchronicdiseaseofchildrenaged5to17years.IntheU.S.,toothdecayaffects:

1outof4elementaryschoolchildren2outof3adolescents9outof10adults

Both children and adults benefit from water fluoridation. Studies have demonstrated that people in communities with fluoridated water have 20to40percentlesstoothdecaythanthoseincommunities without fluoridated water.

In2002,theCDCestimatedthat66percentofU.S.residentswhoreceivetheirwaterfromcommunitywatersystems,or170millionpeople,hadaccessto fluoridated water. The Healthy People 2010 goalistoincreasethisto75percent.InNorthDakota,97.6percentofthepopulationhasaccessto fluoridated water, resulting in better oral health, lessdentalpainandfewercavitiesforhundredsofthousandsofpeoplelivinginNorthDakota.

The cost to fluoridate water for the lifetime of one personislessthanthecosttotreatonecavity.

Every dollar spent on fluoridation saves $38 in avoideddentalbills.

For North Dakota, the most benefit to oral health is achieved when waters are fluoridated to 1.2 milligramsperliter(mg/L).

Optimal fluoridation is achieved when the fluoride level in potable water is maintained in the control range of 1.0 to 1.7 mg/L (parts per million).

One part per million means one part of fluoride is dilutedinamillionpartsofwaterwhichmightbecomparedto:

1inchin16miles1minutein2years1centin$10,000

The benefits of fluoridation are quickly lost when fluoride levels drop below the optimal range. The U.S.EnvironmentalProtectionAgency(EPA)hassetboththemaximumcontaminantlevel(MCL)andthemaximumcontaminantlevelgoal(MCLG)for fluoride at 4 mg/L. In addition, the secondary maximumcontaminantlevelgoal(SMCLG)of2 mg/L has been set for fluoride to minimize potential dental fluorosis (staining of the teeth).

Monitor water fluoride levels daily to ensure optimal fluoridation, and adjust feed rates as necessary.

Send split samples monthly to the state health laboratory to verify accuracy in measuring fluoride levels.

For questions on the Fluoridation Program in North Dakota or the health effects of fluoride, contact the DivisionofMunicipalFacilities,701-328-5258.

The following websites are good sources of information about fluoridation: American Dental Association: www.ada.org/public/topics/fluoride/index.asp Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: www.cdc.gov/OralHealth/topics/fluoridation.htm American Water Works Association: http://awwa.org/Advocacy/pressroom/fluoride.cfm
