The Town of Kingston voted to appropriate funds for the construction of the Manganese Removal Water Treatment Facility. Manganese was at historically high levels in the Town of Kingston and far exceeded the established drinking water Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level for Manganese.

During Design Development, it was decided that pressure filtration with absorptive green media was the most cost effective treatment technology for the historical Manganese levels found at the Trackle Pond Well. After vigorous pilot testing, the final design was selected with the most cost-effective elements to achieve success.
