In recent years, PLRWSD has experienced seasonal taste and odor (T&O) events, typically early fall. Testing was initiated in September 2007 to verify whether the T&O events are the result of two organic compounds, MIB and Geosmin, which may be released in the lake by algae, see www.in.gov/idem/algae for more information. The presence of these two organic compounds was confirmed and a bench testing study was started to evaluate several advanced processes to identify the best overall T&O control approach. UltraViolet Advanced Oxidation Process (UV/AOP) was determined to be the best solution.

At an estimated $6.5 million, the UV/AOP Project includes modifications to the water treatment facilities for taste and odor control utilizing a UV/AOP technology, baffling and piping of the clear well, emergency power generation for the intake and treatment plant, high service pump replacement, chemical feed upgrades, electrical upgrades, and associated site work.
