About this file
This document is a water treatment application from Tewksbury State Hospital to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to conduct a pilot study on a water filtration system for the Saunders Building. The existing water supply from Well #3 contains elevated levels of iron, manganese, arsenic, and PFAS that require treatment. The proposed filtration system would use Culligan depth filters, activated alumina filters, water softeners, carbon filters, and Harmsco hurricane filters to remove these contaminants. The pilot study would operate at approximately 75% of the expected capacity of a full-scale centralized water treatment plant and would be the largest point-of-entry (POE) filtration system if the hospital decides to implement POE systems campus-wide. The pilot study is proposed to run for 3 consecutive months to demonstrate the filtration system's effectiveness. Daily, weekly, and monthly testing of the raw and treated water would be conducted to monitor parameters such as iron, manganese, turbidity, arsenic, pH, alkalinity, carbon dioxide, coliform, color, and PFAS.
The document outlines the hospital's options to address the water quality issues, including supplying the campus with municipal water, blending municipal and well water, creating a centralized water treatment plant, or installing POE filtration systems in each building. Based on the analysis, a centralized treatment plant with campus-wide distribution system replacement is recommended, pending the successful pilot study. The proposed filtration equipment has been used in a similar application in Essex, MA, demonstrating its effectiveness in removing iron and manganese. The document also provides estimated operation and maintenance requirements and life-cycle costs for the proposed filtration system.

Tewksbury Hospital campus water supply is from nearby Well #3, located 1/2 mile from the Saunders Building. Well water is pumped from the campus’s pump-house through approximately a mile or greater of the existing distribution system before being stored in two large (1 million gallon capacity each) water storage tanks located directly behind the Saunders building. Due to the vintage distribution piping throughout the campus and its buildings, Tewksbury Hospital treats the well water with a blended phosphate additive (to prevent the leeching of copper and iron), potassium hydroxide (KOH) (pH adjustment), and chlorine (disinfectant).
Due to current contaminant levels,Tewksbury Hospital is required to lter water in order to bring Iron and Manganese levels below the acceptable drinking water standard. In addition, both Arsenic and PFAS levels are at approximately 50% of the allowable limits. In a proactive effort, Tewksbury Hospital and MassDEP have agreed that ltration for Arsenic and PFAS will also be provided in case of an increase in levels within upcoming years that would exceed the MCL.
Based on the existing raw water quality present at Tewksbury Hospital, MassDEP requested a compliance action plan in 2018. The resulting compliance plan ultimately recommended Point of Entry (POE) ltration systems for each building on campus. After review, MassDEP requested a more thorough investigation including the analysis of four options to address the water quality issues. These options included supplying the campus with municipal water, blending municipal and well water, creation of a centralized water treatment plant, and the installation of POE ltration systems in each building.
Upon further investigation it was determined that municipal supplied water would not be a viable option due to multiple factors including the potential need to replace large sections of municipal water mains and annual cost of water. A ltration system was recommended that could be implemented for either a centralized water treatment plant or a POE ltration system. The equipment is able to be scaled in order to meet the required ow rate demand.
A similar ltration system has been used in Essex, MA for the ltration of Iron and Manganese which was installed in late 2017. The system used brought Iron levels from 10.9 mg/L to 0.008 mg/L after treatment and Manganese levels from 0.827 mg/L to an undetectable level after treatment. An identical system will be used at Tewksbury Hospital.
The proposed pilot study utilizes the above mentioned ltration system in the Saunders building to demonstrate the ltration capability. The ltration system will be sized for a ow rate of 230 gpm and will lter Iron, Manganese, Arsenic, and PFAS. The study will be conducted for 3 consecutive months in order to complete a comprehensive review and for all cyclic events to occur multiple times. Daily testing of raw and treated water will check for Iron, Manganese, and Turbidity. Weekly testing of raw and treated water will check for Arsenic and pH. Monthly testing of raw and treated water will check for Alkalinity, Carbon Dioxide, Coliform (Total), Color, and PFAS.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To Conduct Pilot Study = or > 40,000 gpd and < 200,000 gpd Transmittal X287151
At this time a nal decision to create a centralized treatment plant or install multiple POE systems has not been made pending the pilot study results and nal project funding. The following paragraphs outline the two available options to implement campus-wide water ltration.
If Tewksbury Hospital moves forward with the creation of a centralized treatment plant this pilot study will operate at approximately 75% of the nal ow rate. The pilot system and ltration results will be comparable to a full scale treatment plant. Please note that a central ltration plant alone would still utilize the vintage distribution system. If Tewksbury Hospital and MassDEP agrees that a creation of a centralized treatment plant is appropirate, the replacement of the distribution system is required in order to guarantee water quality at individual xtures on campus.
The proposed pilot study is also an accurate demonstration of a POE ltration system should Tewksbury Hospital and MassDEP decide to implement campus-wide POE ltration. The pilot study will install what would be the Saunders building’s POE system. This system is the largest one speci ed for the campus as it is the main hospital building. Successful ltration in the Saunders building will allow for additional systems to be sized according to other building ow rates.
Upon successful completion of the pilot study, consideration should be given to each option listed above for effectiveness nal project scope, and life-cycle costs. A centralized treatment plant and distribution system replacement will require a larger upfront capital cost however operation and maintenance costs will be relatively low since there will be a single system to service. A POE ltration system for each building will have a lower capital cost but the operation and maintenance of up to 22 systems will be greater. While both options are viable, GMI recommends the creation of a standalone centralized treatment plant close to the water storage tanks with a campus wide distribution system replacement; pending a successful pilot study.
To Conduct Pilot Study = or > 40,000 gpd and < 200,000 gpd Transmittal X287151
The hospital campus water supply is from nearby Well #3, located 1/2 mile from the Saunders Building.
Well water is pumped from the campus’s pump-house through approximately a mile or greater of the existing distribution system before being stored in two large (1 million gallon capacity each) water storage tanks located directly behind the Saunders building. The hospital’s drinking water has historically tested from 1.1-1.4 mg/L Mn concentration which is above the MassDEP guideline of 0.3 mg/L Mn concentration.
Due to the vintage distribution piping throughout the campus and its buildings, Tewksbury Hospital treats the well water with a blended phosphate additive (to prevent the leeching of copper and iron), potassium hydroxide (KOH) (pH adjustment), and chlorine (disinfectant). These additives are introduced into the water main at the water stations.
The following pages provide water quality excerpts which highlight the contaminants present in Tewksbury Hospital’s water supply. The 2019 consumer con dence report shows Arsenic levels at 6.3 ppb (10 ppb MCL), Iron levels at 2.8 ppm (0.3 SMCL), and Manganese levels ranging from 810-1,100 ppb (50 ppb SMCL with a health advisory of 300/1,000 ppb). Water samples taken at Well #3 during October of 2020 show treated water levels of Arsenic levels at 14.49 ug/L, Iron levels at 4.97 mg/L, and Manganese levels at 1.24 mg/L. Lastly, water samples taken at Well #3 during September of 2020 show PFOA levels at 6.2 ng/L and PFOS levels at 2.4 ng/L. Currently, MassDEP has established a MCL of 20 ng/L for the sum of 6 particular PFAS (PFOS, PFOA, PFDA, PFHpA, PFHxS, and PFNA) to which Tewksbury Hospital’s current contaminate level of the speci c PFAS listed above is 8.6 nm/L.
The contaminate levels noted above require Tewksbury Hospital to lter water in order to bring the Iron and Manganese contaminate level below the acceptable drinking water standard. Currently, both Arsenic and PFAS levels are at approximately 50% of the allowable limits. In a proactive effort, Tewksbury Hospital and MassDEP have agreed that ltration for Arsenic and PFAS will also be provided in case of an increase in levels within upcoming years that would exceed the MCL.

The 2018 Compliance Action Plan, prepared by GMI Architects, recommended a Point of Entry (POE) ltration systems for each building on campus. In May of 2020 MassDEP requested a more thorough investigation including the analysis of four options to address the water quality issues. These options included supplying the campus with municipal water, blending municipal and well water, creation of a centralized water treatment plant, and the installation of POE ltration systems in each building.
Upon further investigation it was determined that municipal supplied water would not be a viable option due to multiple factors including the presence of Asbestos Cement Pipe within the municipal grid (which could require miles of municipal water main replacement), the estimated annual cost of $750k - $1 million for water, and the town’s uncertainty of reliably meeting the campus’s water demand.
The investigation revealed that a similar ltration system could be implemented for both a centralized water treatment plant and the POE ltration system. The equipment used is able to be scaled up or down in order to meet the required demand. As a result, this system has been chosen for the pilot study to be conducted in the Saunders building. A Culligan Depth Filter will be used to lter suspended particles. A modi ed Culligan Depth Filter which utilizes Activated Alumina will remove +3 and +5 Arsenic. A Culligan Water Softener will be used to removed dissolved hardness along with Iron and Manganese. A Culligan Carbon Filter will be used to lter PFOA and PFOS. Lastly, Harmsco Hurricane Filters will be used to remove colloidal iron, discoloration, and will act as a resin trip is the pre- lters bleed any material to service. These combined systems will be located in the Sub-basement of the Saunders building in proximity to the domestic water pumps and water heaters. A bypass as well as back- ow preventers will be installed with they system.
In comparison, the proposed system will operate at 75% of the expected centralized water treatment plant and will be the largest POE ltration system should the Hospital install the systems campus wide.

AAFS-50 ARSENIC REMOVAL GRADE
Activated Alumina AAFS-50 is promoted with a proprietary additive engineered to accomplish enhanced arsenic removal. Arsenic commonly occurs in two forms: As(V) (arsenate) and As(III) (arsenite).
To achieve maximum performance arsenite must be oxidized to arsenate which is easily accomplished by treatment with an oxidizing agent, such as chlorine. AAFS-50 has shown arsenic capacities up to five times greater than unpromoted activated alumina.
Alcan AAFS-50 effectively removes arsenic at a wider range of pH than unpromoted activated alumina, requiring little or no pH adjustment of the raw water. Both the activated alumina and proprietary promoter constituents of AAFS-50 are drinking water grade quality, suitable for potable water treatment. AAFS-50 is post treated for low aluminum leachability into treated water.
AAFS-50 is readily available in granular form in sizes 28 x 48 mesh, with other sizes being supplied on special request.

In late 2017 a similar ltration system was installed at Essex Woods Meeting and Retreat Center located in Essex, Ma. Raw water samples were taken on August 30, 2017 prior to installation of the ltration system at which Iron levels were at 10.9 mg/L and Manganese levels were at 0.827 mg/L. After installation Iron levels dropped 0.008 mg/L and Manganese was not detected.
The ltration system installed at Essex Woods for Iron and Manganese is identical to the one proposed for Tewksbury Hospital. The system utilizes a Culligan Automatic Depth Filter, Culligan Sater Softener, and a 1 micron post lter. Since installation the Meeting and Retreat Center has had no issues with water quality.
