Why Ashland

Reverse osmosis 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's water treatment plant was built in 1948 and the city itself states it has "limited treatment capacity for... algal toxins" (Ashland WTP Background); the replacement plant with ozone treatment is in design with construction around 2026.

Until it's online, an RO is household-level insurance against: TTHMs (24.36 ppb avg, EWG 172x guideline), HAA5 (19.24 ppb, 203x), HAA9 (EWG 426x), hexavalent chromium (0.0505 ppb, 2.5x), Cryptosporidium (standard treatment is filtration plus chlorine only — oocysts resist chlorine), and any post-wildfire turbidity/metals carryover if the watershed ever has a bad fire year (2023 CCR; EWG — Ashland). It also smooths out the noticeable taste change when Ashland switches to TAP water in drought summers.
