Does the Partnership for Safe Water truly improve filter plant performance?
Yes! The Partnership s 1999 annual report closely examined turbidity data from 78 utilities that have so far completed the Phase III self-assessment. These treatment plants have lowered their finished water turbidity by more than 30 percent compared to their turbidities prior to joining the program. These results are even more impressive considering the majority of the plants were performing very well even before the start of the self-assessment process.
