The Town of Bluefield is presently served by a 1.909 MGD (million gallons per day) water treatment facility. The water treatment plant completed an expansion and upgrade project in 2021.  The sources of raw water are from the Bluestone River, Dill Spring, and 3 new wells.  The treatment process consists of chemical addition, coagulation, flocculation, settling, filtration, and chlorination.  These processes work together to remove the physical, chemical, and biological contaminants to make the water safe for drinking.  Water quality is monitored continuously via a SCADA system that receives real time info on pH, turbidity, and chlorine.  The town currently serves approximately 2300 connections, as well as, feeding water to the Falls Mills community and the Town of Pocahontas.
