CWLP made inquiries with other cities that use carbon dioxide and found they are paying significantly more per ton. It was determined that bidding out a new contract would most likely cost us more.

Carbon Dioxide is used to remove the excess alkalinity from the lime-softened water, a normal requirement for regulating the stability of water softened by the use of lime. It is required to have suitable carbon dioxide for the treatment of potable water to provide continuous recarbonation. Annual usage will be approximately 900 tons.
