Annual water system maintenance begins

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) will temporarily change the disinfectant in its water treatment process from March 1 - March 29, 2022. The annual, routine change is necessary to maintain the regional system and year-round water quality. During the change, NTMWD suspends adding ammonia and uses free chlorine to keep water disinfected as it travels through pipes. It's important to do this before summer because hotter temperatures can increase the potential for bacterial growth in pipes. The water remains safe to drink and use every day. For more information, visit www.NTMWD/safewater.
