Notice on Water Treatment Adjustments
Drier than normal conditions combined with recent releases from Blue Marsh Lake have required the Water Treatment Plant to make more frequent adjustments to water treatment chemicals. The lack of significant rainfall has left the Schuylkill River much clearer, while the releases from Blue Marsh have carried additional organic material into the river. Together, these factors require careful adjustments to treatment processes to maintain water quality.
Due to these conditions, potassium permanganate is often used as part of the treatment process. This can temporarily give the water a pink tint; however, the water remains completely safe to drink. The color will gradually fade as you run your faucets and flush your toilets.
These adjustments are routine and part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe, high-quality water to all customers.
