To keep the public informed, our team is proactively taking steps to address any taste and odor issues that ash from the fire may cause in our water supply. We have not seen an increase in turbidity, which suggests that ash, or sediment carrying ash, is entering our water supply; however, we continue to closely monitor the situation.
Although we have yet to receive widespread comments or calls about the taste and odor of our water, we are addressing the issue proactively. We have tested the ash in our lab and confirmed that we can effectively remove it with our treatment methods. Yesterday, our water treatment team began utilizing activated carbon in the treatment process to prevent any potential taste and odor issues. Rest assured, we are taking every measure to ensure the safety and quality of your water.
The activated carbon will absorb the ash, which will then be removed through our conventional treatment processes. As we work to prevent any taste and odor problems, we will continuously monitor our progress and make adjustments as needed. We are grateful to our residents for keeping us informed and providing feedback.
