Aquarion Water Company Reservoir Program
The challenge
The manufacturer’s case record states that Aquarion Water Company was managing the potential for a Microcystis bloom in a drinking-water system and wanted to reduce reliance on copper sulphate. Source-water reservoirs require careful monitoring because cyanobacteria species, toxins, treatment demand and operating conditions can change over time.
The documented approach
Hydro BioScience reports that its team and Aquarion staff selected nine solar floating Quattro-DB systems for deployment across three reservoirs. The equipment was intended to operate continuously as part of the utility’s broader source-water management program.
Reported outcome
- Aquarion reportedly observed reductions in Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria and Planktothrix within 14 days.
- The source also reports reduced chemical usage.
- No raw sampling table, weather record, reservoir-by-reservoir baseline or independent statistical analysis is provided on the public case page.
