Press release submission
The City of Asheboro will resume standard water treatment practices using chloramines on Thursday, December 1, 2022. This process results in a negligible chlorine odor or taste compared to the treatment used over the past month.
Each year the City uses a pure chlorine water treatment to help ensure a high level of disinfection in the water mains as required by .the NC Department of Environmental Quality. During the remainder of the year, a chloramines treatment is used. This is a compound of chlorine and ammonia that results in water with little odor or taste.
Both treatment methods meet all requirements set by the NC DEQ. The City’s annual water quality report (which is mailed to every City customer and made available on-line) details water treatment and testing standards. Customers with special health concerns, such as those on kidney dialysis, are encouraged to seek advice about drinking water from their medical professional. Please call the Water Treatment Plant Manager at 336-626-1215 for questions related to the water treatment process.
