The four plants supply finished waterto a common distribution system. During the 1990s, CWD implemented a capital improvementprogram that renovated and expanded the Crown Water Treatment Plant (Crown). This programupdated a 1950s-vintage facility and increased the treatment capacity of the plant from 50 MGDto 130 MGD.
