Seasonal chlorine burnout underway at water plant

The annual summer “chlorine burnout” has begun within the City of Bowie’s water system and will continue for 30 days.
Water Plant Supervisor Jerry Sutton said the burnout began on July 23 and will go 30 days. This seasonal task usually occurs during the height of the summer heat.
Customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with their water during this period explained Sutton as the water treatment system changes out its disinfectant.
The city water treatment plan uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Sutton said over time those 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 chloramines will be added back to the system and the water should return to normal.

City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
