We will be glad to investigate any problem and attempt to determine a solution. Acceptable drinking water levels are described as a function of temperature. The rational behind the temperature range is that in warmer climates people tend to drink more. Fluoride addition to the water supplies aids in reducing dental decay. We add several other chemicals to the water.
Chlorine is added for disinfection to prevent disease.
Ammonia is added to the finished water to combine with the chlorine to reduce the amount of free chlorine and to provide a longer combined disinfection residual. The City will perform testing of customers water for identified problems or concerns. We have a routine testing program in the distribution system to test for bacteria and chlorine residuals. Daily testing is performed for a variety of other parameters. Other chemical testing is performed quarterly and annually.
