How does the City treat the water?

Currently the only chemicals used in our water system are chlorine (in the form of sodium hypochlorite, used for disinfection) and a polyphosphate (used for corrosion control), fluoride for dental health (in the form of hydrofluosilicic acid). Monitoring, adjustments, and sampling are performed according to standards; and the facilities are monitored through a SCADA system at the Operations Control Center, which is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
