Heber receives raw water from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), from the Central Main Canal through the Dogwood Canal to Gate 37A.  The raw water is allowed to settle in 3 lined settling basins with a combined capacity of 5.8 million gallons.  Water is pumped from the third settling basin and polyferric sulfate, a coagulant and Polymer, a coagulant aid is added and is mixed via static mixer.  The water then flows through one of two U.S. Filter Co. Micro Floc Water Treatment System units. 

The filtered water exits the treatment plant and is chlorinated prior to being pumped to three clearwell reservoirs that together store 5.5 million gallons.  Water from the reservoirs is pressurized to 48 psi to feed the one pressure zone distribution system.
