Why Ashland

City water remediation for Ashland water.

Primary source
City of Ashland — Reeder Reservoir (with TAP intertie for drought summers)
Key issues we see
Highest TTHM/HAA5 in the region
Elevated raw TOC from watershed
Aging 1948 treatment plant
TAP intertie taste change in drought summers

Ashland has three reasons for city-water remediation that don't apply anywhere else in this list:

  1. Elevated raw TOC (up to 6.16 ppm at Reeder) driving the highest DBP load among this group — TTHM 24.36 ppb avg and HAA5 19.24 ppb (2023 CCR), both legal but both driven by a surface water treated with conventional direct filtration.
  2. Reeder turbidity carryover risk. The watershed is steep and granitic; the 1974 flood deposited 130,000 cubic yards of sediment in Reeder in a short period (Resilience.org), and a major watershed fire would do it again.
  3. Aging plant. The existing Ashland WTP was built in 1948 and the city itself states its treatment capacity is "limited... for algal toxins" (Ashland WTP Background). The replacement plant with ozone is in design but not online.

Whole-home carbon + under-sink RO is household-level insurance on top of Ashland Forest Resiliency and the pending new plant.
