On Wednesday, April 1, OWASA will resume 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, and this may still be noticeable in the first two weeks of April. The purpose of the state-required March chlorine disinfection was to help ensure a high level of disinfection in the community’s public water mains. For more information contact Sandra Bradshaw at (919) 537-4206 or sbradshaw@owasa.org or Ken Loflin at (919) 537-4232 or kloflin@owasa.org.
