City of Odessa announce change in water disinfection

The City of Odessa detailed in a press release on Friday afternoon that it will return to the usual method of combined chlorine and ammonia (chloramines) to disinfect the water supply on Saturday.

The City has completed the use of free chlorine disinfection for the past month.

It may take a couple of weeks for the change to be distributed throughout the water system.

The change in disinfection was implemented as a proactive maintenance activity in our distribution system to assist in maintaining adequate chlorine residuals.
