DISINFECTION, CHLORINATION AND DECHLORINATION SERVICES

Disinfection is an important part of operating a water system and protecting consumers. During that process, licensed water operators add sodium hypochlorite to sanitize the system and let it sit for a specified amount of time in accordance with AWWA standards. When the time has elapsed, they flush the system with clean water and dechlorinate the flush water by adding a chemical that removes any chlorine residuals. Once dechlorination is complete, samples are taken to ensure that there are no pathogens in the water and that it is safe to drink.
