The City of Grants Pass Water Treatment Plant knows that if there was a catastrophic failure at the plant we do have a short-term solution, the WERT. The WERT can supply water during an emergency. During a major catastrophe, it can take several days to weeks for outside resources to reach citizens and deliver fresh water supplies to the stores.
To have complete water services restored after a major catastrophe it may take up to a year or more to complete full restoration of the treatment plant.
The WERT is one more example of how the Water Division is planning ahead to ensure that our community will have access to clean, safe water in the event of an emergency.
