Abbeville’s water plant part on its way from Kentucky
Last week two parts that helped the clarifier turn at the water plant broke.
Abbeville Mayor Roslyn White described the clarifier as the “’water softener of the water plant’. It is what settles suspended solids from liquid, allowing water to become clear.”
When the clarifier quit turning last Thursday, it challenged city workers to find out why.
On Friday, mechanics determined a 37-inch diameter bearing weighing more than 100 pounds needed changing, along with a large chain that turns the clarifier.
