Baxter Water Treatment Plants and Public Health

The Baxter Water Treatment Plant is Philadelphia’s largest facility, processing water from the Delaware River to supply 60% of the city’s drinking water. This post explores the plant’s role in maintaining water quality through testing, security measures, and adherence to EPA guidelines. As a public health nurse investigating a potential outbreak, I would assess water quality reports, collect data on the outbreak, and recommend improvements to emergency response and staff education to ensure public health and safety.
