Disinfection Method Of Water Treatment

Water treatment changes for maintenance, flushing program

American Water’s Fort Leavenworth Water Treatment Plant is planning to adjust its treatment process as part of its regular, ongoing hydrant maintenance and flushing program. This program improves water quality by flushing or cleaning mineral deposits and sediment from water mains and is part of American Water’s commitment to providing high-quality customer service. From Sept. 6 through the end of September, the company will switch its disinfection method to a form of chlorine known as “free chlorine,” which does not contain ammonia. Chlorine is commonly used in public water systems as a disinfectant and is monitored closely by water quality experts to ensure optimum levels are present. Because of the temporary change in the type of chlorine, however, customers may experience a more noticeable chlorine taste or odor in their tap water during the next two to four weeks. There is no reason for concern, it is because of the switch in chlorine type only. While no interruptions in water service will occur as a result of the work, American Water advises that when crews are flushing nearby, customers may experience a drop in water pressure or some discoloration of their water. American Water recommends that any customers experiencing discolored water let the cold water run to clear before using it again and refrain from doing laundry during that time. Any water discoloration or low pressure problems should last only a short period of time. If problems persist, contact American Water at (913) 758-9272.
