Overview

Blissfield’s water treatment plant is a 1.4 million a gallon a day rated surface water plant. The plant’s water source is the River Raisin that flows north east behind the plant.  Blissfield’s plant is a complete treatment plant, meaning the village adds chemicals for coagulation and flocculation. Activated carbon is added for taste and odor removal, as well as adsorption of PFAS compounds. Potassium Permanganate is an oxidizer that helps remove additional organic material again correlated to taste and odor. Ferric sulfate is our coagulant helping to bind compounds in the water together for removal with the aid from our cationic polymer. There is an addition of Caustic soda 25% to adjust the PH of the water back around 7.8-8. Lastly, we add chlorine for disinfection, Fluoride for public health, and Phosphate for corrosion control.
