Safe Drinking Water for Municipal Water Utilities: A Missouri Case Study

Producing safe drinking water is a growing challenge for many utilities. Raw water quality shifts with seasons and upstream conditions, making treatment unpredictable. For the City of Archie, Missouri, harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused persistent turbidity, taste and odor complaints, and regulatory concerns over disinfection byproducts. Chemical treatments offered little relief, putting both compliance and public trust at risk.

In this Drinking Water Utility Webinar, our speakers Ernest Neafsey and Ricky Blundell will present Archie’s success story. They will show how the city secured clear, reliable drinking water through chemical-free ultrasonic algae control. By implementing LG Sonic’s MPC-Buoy, Archie reduced influent turbidity by 65%, extended filter runtime by 300%, and rebuilt public confidence in its water supply.
