The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
