GILBERT, AZ – A water treatment plant in Gilbert was evacuated Friday because of a hazardous materials situation on Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jennifer Alvarez, digital media and marketing officer for Gilbert, said in <\/em>am email to ABC15 that a “minor equipment failure” resulted in “a small release of ozone” at the plant.<\/em><\/p>\n

Up to thirty people were in the area at the time, a spokesman for Gilbert Fire Department said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Three people were transported to the hospital, said Alvarez. The other people\u00a0were treated on-site.<\/em><\/p>\n

The plant has since been given the all-clear, she said, and <\/em>emplyees have returned to work.<\/em><\/p>\n

The SanTan\u00a0Vista Drinking Water Treatment\u00a0Plant is located near Ocotillo and Recker roads. According to the Town of\u00a0Gilbert<\/a>, the treatment plant receives water from Central Arizona Project’s Colorado River watershed through a 14-mile ductile iron pipeline.<\/em><\/p>\n

The plant treats 24 million gallons of water a day, which is split evenly between Gilbert and Chandler, the website<\/a> said.<\/em><\/p>\n

The plant is undergoing an expansion project that began in 2016 and is slated to be completed in 2018.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ozone is commonly used for water treatment.\u00a0<\/a> The use of ozone in water treatment and many applications is perfectly <\/a>safe, and in fact safer than alternative chemicals like Chlorine.\u00a0 It should be simple to maintain a safe environment around your ozone equipment.<\/p>\n

Ozone Leaks and ambient ozone levels are not issues to be taken lightly by your safety team.\u00a0 Ensure you have ozone monitors on-site, ensure they are working, and ensure your staff knows how to keep themselves safe in your facility.\u00a0 Need help with ozone equipment maintenance, ozone sensors, and ozone safety?\u00a0 Contact our office, we would be glad to help.<\/a><\/p>\n
