CARLSBAD, CA, November 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a report in Energy Digital Magazine, Cheryl Porter Assistant Director of Water Supply Operations for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department speaks on the company's current challenges and how it's planning to work toward the future.

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) has its roots as a public utility dating back to the early 1880s and is one of the largest systems in the nation. The department provides water service to about one million people in Detroit and about three million to those living in southeast Michigan communities, making for a 1,079 square mile service area and about 43 percent of the state's population. Additionally, the department has the sixth lowest combined water and sewerage rates per month among the 20 most populated cities in the U.S.

"The water system draws fresh water from the Great Lakes, with Lake Huron to the north and the Detroit River to the south," Cheryl Porter, Assistant Director of Water Supply Operations for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department says. "Hardness levels for treated drinking water vary depending on the time of the year, averaging 100 parts per million or 6-6.5 grains per gallon."
