Ozonation of the public water supply at Monroe, Mich., is reviewed by the plant operator after six years of successful operation. Destruction of taste and odor, the primary objective of ozonation at Monroe, has been complete under all conditions. Numerous side effects of ozonation for taste and odor control are reported to be beneficial. Treatment results, equipment performance, and economics are compared with the rigid criteria originally applied in the process selection and design. All comparisons remain favorable as the system enters its seventh year of operation.
