The 10.0 mgd reverse osmosis nitrate removal plant in Brighton, Colorado, was successfully started up in November 1993. As a means of insuring that the plant design would not only meet current and future needs but would also avoid practical problems encountered by other plants, the city utilized a network of existing membrane drinking water plants. These were plants that had experienced similar treatment problems and challenges. This network, due to the openness and willingness of the other utilities to share information, insights, and experiences, provided considerable help in the design process. Details of the cost saving benefits of the networking experiences are presented. The membrane drinking water plant survey developed for and included in the American Water Works Association Research Foundation's publication Membrane Concentrate Disposal should be helpful in establishing a network for utilities considering membrane treatment.
