Where do we get our water and how is it treated? The city’s drinking water comes from any one of a series of 24-deep wells (>200 ft. deep) that tap into the Floridan Aquifer. This is a vast groundwater resource that stretches southward from South Carolina to a large part of the Florida including all of Volusia County.
Although this water is very high in quality, it does contain dissolved minerals and natural organics, which are essential for good health.
This water is treated at the Ralph Brennan Water Treatment Plant, located at 3651 LPGA Blvd., through peroxidation, ozonation, softening, filtration and chloramine disinfection processes.
An inhibitor is added to reduce corrosion of household plumbing. The naturally occurring fluoride content is supplemented at a level recommended by the American Dental Health Association.
