On April 1, OWASA resumed the use of chloramines for disinfection of drinking water instead of chlorine, which was used during the month of March. Customers noticed a taste and odor in the water because of the chlorine, which may still be noticeable in the first two weeks of April.
The purpose of the state-required March chlorine disinfection was to help ensure the high quality of the community’s public water mains. For more information, contact Sandra Bradshaw at 537-4206 or sbradshaw@owasa.org or Ken Loflin at 537-4232 or kloflin@owasa.org
