Water Treatment Plant
Department Manager: Barry Jarred
Kennett's water supply is taken from four ground water wells that extend 100
to 130 feet below the surface. The water produced by these wells is of naturally
high quality and free from harmful levels of chemicals and bacteria. However,
it does contain levels of iron and dissolved calcium, which makes treatment
of the water necessary to remove excess levels of these substances. The ability
to supply a safe, adequate source of water is vital to any community, large
or small, and many towns have treatment plants for this purpose. Trained operators
are necessary in order to control the treatment process, do quality assurance
testing, as well as operate and maintain the equipment needed to perform water
treatment.
Water Treatment Plant Operators are licensed by the State of Missouri
upon completion of training and testing.
