Customer FAQ: Annual “Spring Cleaning” of Water Distribution System

PWCSA customers may notice a slight chlorine taste and smell in their tap water through early summer. The annual conversion to free chlorine as the primary disinfectant in the drinking water treatment process is underway and will continue through June 2013. The water PWCSA provides its customers is treated by Fairfax Water and the City of Manassas, and both use chloramines in their water treatment processes during most of the year. Using chloramines is a better long-term option because they remain in the water distribution system longer and produce lower levels of disinfection by-products. Free chlorine is a more aggressive disinfectant, and this temporary change in the water treatment process helps prevent bacteria from becoming overly resistant.
