How to Calculate Water Treatment Cost

Water treatment costs include energy, chemicals, labor, and sludge disposal.

Formula

Daily Cost = Volume * (Treatment + Chemical cost) / 1,000 + Sludge Disposal

Typical Treatment Costs (per 1,000 gallons)

  • Municipal water: $1-3
  • Wastewater: $2-5
  • Industrial: $3-10
  • Advanced treatment: $5-15
  • Example Calculation

    A treatment plant processing 50,000 gal/day at $3/1000 gal treatment, $0.50/1000 chemicals, 15% sludge.

    1. 01Daily treatment: 50,000 * $3 / 1,000 = $150
    2. 02Daily chemicals: 50,000 * $0.50 / 1,000 = $25
    3. 03Daily sludge: $150 * 15% = $22.50
    4. 04Total daily: $150 + $25 + $22.50 = $197.50
    5. 05Annual: $197.50 * 365 = $72,088
