The AWOP Award recognizes exemplary efforts by water treatment plants in delivering safe and high-quality drinking water to the communities they serve.
Through rigorous monitoring, optimization of treatment processes, and proactive management strategies, FPWTP has demonstrated exceptional performance in maintaining drinking water quality that surpasses regulatory requirements.
By participating in AWOP, FPWTP has not only ensured compliance but has also implemented best practices to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the risk of waterborne contaminants.
The prestigious AWOP Award is presented by the Department of Environmental Protection and recognizes outstanding efforts toward optimizing water treatment performance.
AWOP is a national optimization effort among 22 states, the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators.
The Award will be presented to FPWTP at the Water Works Operators' Association of Pennsylvania Annual Conference in September.
“As a water utility, our number one job is providing safe, reliable and affordable water to our customers,” said Tony Bellitto Jr. PE, executive director, North Penn Water Authority. “We are proud of the work that our experienced operators perform at Forest Park Water. This honor is a testament to the hard work that goes into producing award-winning water.”
“Forest Park Water provides water to more than 200,000 people in our region, making excellent water quality a paramount goal,” said Robert C. Bender, executive director of North Wales Water Authority. “Year after year, we strive to improve our treatment process to ensure we are providing the safest, most reliable water possible.”
Forest Park Water Treatment Plant (FPWTP) is a state of the art water treatment facility that combines conventional treatment processes with advanced techniques, which include ozone disinfection and membrane filtration.
Membrane filtration is a leading-edge technology capable of consistently producing very high quality water and ensures the plant can safely meet the more stringent federal and state water quality regulations that will be required in the near future.
This combination of traditional and innovative water treatment allows FPWTP to produce the safest, highest quality water possible.
