Membrane replacement at John W. North Water Treatment Plant
Summary
Riverside's membrane filtration plant — key to water independence — needs its 600 ultrafiltration membranes replaced for $2.1 million, a sole-source deal with ZENON/Veolia. Switching technologies would cost roughly $35 million plus a $16 million brine line, and a grant obligates the city to keep running the plant as-is.
