New Water Purity System ls Being Demonstrated And Promoted In Grass Valley By Don Hoagland Finding enough pure water to serve the growing needs of California is becoming a more critical problem with every passing day, but a solution may be cooking now along Wolf Creek in Grass Valley. May be are the essential words in the story, for the water treatment system now being demon‘strated here by inventor L.

The demonstration is awesome for the water used is pumped right from the city sewer main before the raw sewage enters the city plant, This raw Sewage goes in one end of the Pure Water system and comes out the other end crystal clear and pure, The purity is not just a promoter's claim. On seven tests made on water pumped from the local sewer main and run through the test plant, all were completely free of pollution. As an added attraction to the purification abilities of the System, savings can be realized on the treatment by capturing and selling materials taken out of the water during the process, This, the backers say, cuts down on the cost of treatment. According to Looser, the test plant has been set up in Grass Valley for two reasons, First they want to prove that the plant can do what it is supposed to do--produce pure water. The second aim is to secure local backing so that a company can be formed to fabricate the components and market them from Nevada County. According to Looser, there has been amazing success with the first goal and little success with the second. The Remeo Process (Reno Engineering and Mining Co, holds the patents on the system) is a method for treating brackish, polluted, and alkaline water, The end product is pure drinking water. The process consists of four steps.
