4/8/24 - AIR IN WATER:

The City has installed a new filter plant at the Meadows pump station (located in the Northern end of City) to remove iron, manganese and any hydrogen sulfur smell or taste. The removal of these minerals and odor is then backwashed out of the filters. The media in the filters uses injected air to re-charge. At this time City Staff are learning and adjusting to this new complex system to dial in the right amount of air to the water flow and backwash rates. When it is done the water produced from the Meadows Well will be of improved quality.

We are asking that you please be patient with us at this time of adjustment. Air in water appears to be milky white. If you draw a glass of water and you see this, setting the glass down for a minute or so will allow you to see the entrapped air dissipate from the glass. Although this is a nuisance to see it is not harmful to drink.

Thank you for your patience while we make these adjustments.
