Treatment of contaminated groundwater for drinking water sources.

Groundwater contamination is a fact of life. With increasing contaminant levels and tightening Federal and State regulations, less and less water resources remain available to serve your customers.

In addition, surface water supplies are unpredictable and often unavailable, due to drought and over-allocation. And, the cost of treating surface water is rising.

Probably the only water supplies that you can control are your district's own groundwater resources. In the recent past, groundwater treatment meant large capital costs, long term build-outs, and significant infrastructure disruption.

Today, we believe water agencies throughout the United States have found a better way: Basin Water.


Basin Water provides a turnkey, cost-effective, rapidly deployable solution for treating contaminated groundwater wherever you need it.

Basin Water's next-generation ion exchange system can treat water at the wellhead or at a centralized facility. Each has its place in managing your water resources.

By treating water at a centralized facility, you can treat and blend water from multiple wellhead sources at a single location. This leverages proven Basin Water technology into facilities capable of treating 3,000 to 8,000 gpm.

Either way, Basin Water helps you make the most of your groundwater resources, with minimal disruption and maximum speed and cost-efficiency. The end result: a safe, reliable source of drinking water for the community you serve.

Now, more than ever, Basin Water is the right treatment solution.

Basin Water is proven effective.

Basin Water treatment systems are currently providing over 75 million gallons per day of installed capacity to water providers serving hundreds of thousands of residents in the United States. Basin Water's customers include two of the largest investor-owned water utilities in the United States based on population served: California Water Service Company and American States Water Company.

The treated water produced by Basin Water's patented, next generation ion exchange system removes arsenic, nitrate, perchlorate, uranium and chromium VI to non-detectable levels. All Basin Water systems currently in operation have permits issued from the appropriate health services authorities.

Basin Water is cost effective.

Basin Water can handle all the design, construction, installation, and ongoing maintenance, including waste disposal. And, we'll deliver water that meets or exceeds your specifications. Compared acre-foot to acre-foot, we believe the cost of treated water from Basin Water is less expensive than importing water or using other treatment alternatives. In fact, many agencies use the water treated by Basin Water as a convenient blending source, realizing further efficiencies.

Basin Water guarantees compliance, not just now but for the life of your contract.

Basin Water reduces risk and preserves capital.

Basin Water delivers the clean, safe drinking water you need on a turnkey basis, from your existing "contaminated" groundwater well. The technology behind that water is a proprietary ion-exchange system, backed by our own computer modeling system that simulates the entire treatment process and and enables you to have a complete analysis and proposal - including cost and predicted performance - within days of receiving water composition data. That means Basin Water can deploy within weeks - in time for your next peal season or even to help ease an immediate shortage.

Basin Water does more than produce safe drinking water from your shut-in wells. It also preserves your precious capital. With the Basin Water system, you have the flexibility to choose financing with low capital costs. That's important for cash-strapped, tightly budgeted agencies and districts. Typically, you'll contract to treat a minimum number of acre-feet per year, and you'll pay only as water is delivered that meets the agreed-upon specification. Alternatively, you can pay a monthly standby fee and a cost per acre-foot when the system is operated. Or, you can purchase the Basin Water system and pay a cost per acre foot for service and maintenance over an agreed upon number of years.

Your community becomes more water self-reliant, by maximizing local groundwater supplies. And, your agency increases productivity, decreases liabilities, and preserves its capital reserves. You can have a clear, consistent basis by which to adjust rates for your water.

Finally, Basin Water is a proven solution. Unlike many other technologies, ion-exchange is recognized and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a "Best Available Technology" for arsenic, nitrate, and perchlorate removal. The Basin Water system is the product of years of research and development efforts to design a process that drastically improves the economics of wellhead treatment. Basin Water systems are currently operating in the United States helping water agencies deliver safe drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people every day.
