Because of Aurora’s position as the western anchor of the I-88 research corridor, there has been an increase in population over the past decade, leading to a demand for economical, dependable, quality water. This facility is capable of producing 28 million gallons of water per day. The city’s future growth was taken into consideration at the time of design. The facility may expand its capacity to 42 million gallons of water per day, ensuring the city’s ability to continue meeting its citizens’ demand for water. The water is drawn from the Fox River, and then it is filtered, purified, clarified, softened and treated with fluoride at the facility.
