Water taken from Lake Springfield for the purpose of meeting this community's domestic water needs is purified at the Water Purification Plant, located just northwest of the Lakeside and Dallman electric generating stations. The Water Purification Plant was first opened in 1935 and has since undergone several expansions and upgrades to bring it to its present processing capability of 46 million gallons per day.

Steps taken during the water purification process ensure CWLP's ability to convert raw lake water into a safe, clean product that consistently meets state water quality standards.

For more information about the water purification process at CWLP, or about the CWLP Water Division in general, select any of the topics or subtopics listed in the left-hand column of this page.
