Watercraft Decontamination Systems

This Hydrosite watercraft decontamination system was installed in 2007 and is still operating today. This is just one of many systems supporting aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah/Arizona. The system is connected to utilities (power, water and gas only, no sewer) that were routed to a parking area. This dual Hydropad portable wash rack system satisfies high volume decontamination demands of watercraft visiting Lake Powell.
