Becker-Jiba SUD purchases water from City of Kaufman provided by North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) as a result each spring for about one month, NTMWD suspends the typical use of ammonia to allow the remaining chlorine to keep the water disinfected as it travels through the system. This temporary change in disinfectant helps maintain the system and high water quality year round. It’s important to do this before summer because hotter temperatures can increase the potential for bacterial growth in pipes.
NTMWD has conducted the temporary change in water disinfectant for over a decade, and continues to meet safe drinking water standards.
During the change, Becker-Jiba SUD will help move the chlorine-disinfected water through the system faster by flushing. The combination of converting to chlorine disinfectant and flushing the pipes helps maintain the system and safe water year round.
