The Santa Teresa Water Treatment Plant opened in 1989, integrating the use of ozone into its water treatment process to improve the district’s drinking water quality. Ozone is an excellent addition to the drinking water treatment process because it is a very strong disinfectant yet creates less disinfection byproducts than chlorine. Disinfection byproducts at high levels can be a health concern. Upgrades to the plant were completed in the spring of 2006.
I happened to get an aerial photo of the treatment plant during an approach to San Jose Airport.
