Our Commissioners and staff are committed to restoring the natural appearance of this buffer for the sake of all our customers that live and travel along U.S. 17. The project work along U.S. 17 is part of a new 20-inch water line upgrade program that will improve water service throughout the Mt. Pleasant Waterworks service area. Proper Maintenance For Safe Use of Home Water Treatment Devices Customers who use home water treatment devices should check their filters often to ensure proper operation. If not used correctly, or improperly maintained, these devices may actually deteriorate a customer's water quality. This deterioration typically occurs when home water filters remove the residual chlorine.
Chlorine is used to disinfect the water.
Without proper chlorine levels, bacteria may actually grow inside the water filter. Carbon Filters Are Common POUs Carbon filters are effective in trapping organic matter in water. In addition, the efficiency of these filters decreases with use. Change filters frequently. Follow manufacturer's advice for installation and service.
