ODESSA, Texas — The City of Odessa will soon be performing its regular temporary change to its water disinfection method.
For 30 days starting on May 27, the city will only use chlorine to disinfect the water as opposed to the regular chlorine and ammonia combination.
The reason for this change is to help maintain adequate chlorine residuals in the distribution system.
Residents may notice the smell of bleach or chlorine in the water, but should not be concerned.
This process has been done numerous times by the City of Odessa over the years.
