The Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) supplies more than 48 billion gallons of water a year through 3,000 miles of water mains to about 235,000 accounts. The GCWW is preparing to use ultraviolet light to help keep that water free from contamination and safe to drink. WVXU’s Ann Thompson talks with Greater Cincinnati Water Works Assistant Superintendent Bruce Whitteberry about the new process.
0000017a-3b40-d913-abfe-bf44a51f0000In a unique collaboration between members of the WCPO reporting team and the news team of 91.7 WVXU, a week of special reports begins Monday examining perhaps the greatest, most profitable resource in the Cincinnati area: water.This is the first such collaboration between WCPO and WVXU, and this topic was chosen because of its dramatic impact to this entire region, both in terms of the daily need and use of water, but also because water technology, distribution, and related entrepreneurship is a growing component of the local economy.
