We plan to start serving water from the reservoir in July.
Each section of pipe that brings water in to, out of, and through the reservoir is treated with highly-chlorinated water. Next, the pipes are tested, flushed and sealed until put into use.
Now that the pipes have been connected and sanitized, we have begun the final disinfection process by filling the reservoir with highly-chlorinated water. When we are done with disinfection, we treat the water with Vitamin C to neutralize the chlorine before slowly releasing it into the stormwater system.
For the final test, we will re-fill the reservoir with drinking water and test it for bacteria. Once it passes, we will be ready to begin serving water!
