NOTIFICATION
The City of Rich Hill will begin a free chlorine burn out of the water distribution system this started Monday 7/29/2013 and will continue through 8/12/2013. The free chlorine burn out is a change in the disinfection process from chloramines to free chlorine and is a necessary process to eliminate any nitrification or build up in the distribution system. This free chlorine doesn't contain ammonia. This is a normal procedure and our water quality experts monitor this process closely to ensure optimum levels of disinfectant are present. Due to this temporary change customers may experience a temporary change in taste and odor, as well as a discoloration of water. This discoloration is due to the mineral build up in the pipes being removed by the flushing action. There are no associated health risks or causes for concern. This temporary treatment change practice is recommended by the Department of Natural Resources. If you have any questions, or need further information please call City Hall at 417-395-2223.
