!!Temporary Disinfectant Conversion!!
The Luling Water Treatment Plant (PWS ID) 0280018 will temporarily convert the disinfectant used in the distribution system from a chloramine disinfectant to a free chlorine disinfectant. The conversion will begin on June 24, 2025 and continue through July 24, 2025. During this period, you may experience taste and odor changes associated with this type of temporary disinfectant conversion.
Public water systems are required to properly disinfect their water and maintain an adequate disinfectant residual in the distribution system. Chloramine disinfectant (free chlorine combined with ammonia) is widely used as a disinfectant because it persists for long periods while also limiting the formation of disinfection by-product contaminants. Prolonged use of chloramine coupled with other factors can impact water quality. Factors such as high temperatures or stagnation of water may result in the growth and/or persistence of organic matter within the pipes of the distribution system, which may hinder the ability to maintain an adequate disinfectant residual. A temporary conversion to free chlorine, partnered with flushing activities helps to rid and protect distribution pipes of this organic matter and improve the quality of your water overall.
