Restoring Clean Water in Asheville After Hurricane Helene

A Rapid Response to an Environmental Crisis

When Hurricane Helene struck Asheville, NC, the city faced a critical challenge—high turbidity levels in its main reservoir forced the water treatment plant offline, leaving the community without a reliable water supply. The city’s environmental team needed an immediate solution to restore water quality and get the plant back online.

The Aer-Flo Environmental Solution

After evaluating the reservoir’s conditions, our team recommended Type 2 turbidity barriers with customized anchor kits designed for the reservoir’s 300-foot depth. To ensure a seamless deployment:

  • We provided expert guidance via a video call with the contractor.
  • Our team expedited production to meet the urgent need.
  • The solution was customized to handle the unique conditions of the reservoir.

Results: Clean Water Restored—Fast

  • In less than a week, the order was produced, shipped, and delivered ahead of schedule.
  • The city quickly implemented the solution, reducing turbidity levels.
  • Water quality was restored, allowing the treatment plant to resume operations.
