WSSC Potomac Water Filtration Plant plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality and efficiency of water intake by filtering out debris, sediment, and aquatic life before treatment. The Potomac Water Filtration Plant originally installed four traveling water screens in 1979, these traveling water screens are essential for ensuring uninterrupted water flow while preventing damage to downstream treatment equipment. Due to decades of continuous operation, these screens require a comprehensive assessment and refurbishment to restore full functionality, extend their service life, and meet modern performance and environmental standards.
