Municipal Systems Mainstream's Municipal Systems are custom designed to meet each community's specific water treatment requirements. We currently have systems operating in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta, with many more in the design phase. Mainstream Municipal systems are operating in a wide range of geographic zones, from remote northern boreal lakes and rivers to prairie surface and ground water locations. This range includes treating water as low as 0.5 degrees celcius to warm summer water with high biological treatment requirements.

The green treatment solution - no chemicals required. Although regulations require chlorine to be used for final disinfection, Mainstream's system utilizes naturally occurring microbes to digest and remove contaminants. This eliminates the use of any chemicals or other consumable inputs (e.g. carbon compounds). Provides affordable, simple and effective drinking water treatment from dugouts, wells, rivers, or lakes. The simple, proven technology has been tested since 1989 on prairie water conditions. Meets all municipal regulations. Our systems have been scientifically verified in numerous scientific papers and approved by regulatory agencies for public municipal drinking water treatment. Simple operation and maintenance. The only regular maintenance operation is occassional backwashing of the filters every few weeks, or months. Also, as the system is largely self-adjusting to changes in raw water volume and quality, there is reduced need for the operator to adjust operating parameters. Simple design. The use of gravity instead of mechanical pressure to force water flow through the system results in redundancy of many of the mechanical pumps, metering devices, etc. Low wastewater production. Biofiltration makes the most efficient use of raw water of any type of treatment system, producing less than 4% wastewater. This results in an effective use of limited supply sources, and a minimal impact on lagoon size and operation. Modular design that supports future demand changes. Each system is custom designed to meet each customer's specific water treatment requirements. This is achieved using our own specialized in-house engineering staff and consulting engineers. Water quality, operators, site, facility, finance, and location are all taken into consideration. Comparative low capital and operating costs. Cost savings include no consumable inpurts, no membranes, low electrical demand, minimal mechanical maintenance, and long life components. High safety margin. The system comprises of at least two (typically three) seperate effective barriers, plus final post-treatment chlorine. Should the regular backwashing of filters not be done when scheduled, the impact will be to merely slow treated water volume down over time, while continuing to maintain water quality.TOP
Water Testing Each customized municipal system requires a water test in order for us to design the system to best suit your specific water treatment needs. Mainstream offers access to accredited water testing through our partnership with ALS Laboratories. Please visit our Water Testing Page for more information. TOP
