OWASA resumes previous water disinfection technique

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.
