ODESSA, Texas — The City of Odessa will be changing its method of water disinfection starting on June 2. 

This will likely last until July 1. During this month long period, the City of Odessa will use only chlorine to disinfect the water compared to the combination of chlorine and ammonia, which create Chloramines. 

The City has warned residents that despite a bleach or chlorine smell in the water, there is nothing to be worried about. 

The city has done this in the past and has seen minimal impacts to their customers.
