Water treatment change

30 January 2008 — The Johnston County Water Treatment Plant will temporarily stop feeding ammonia with chlorine for disinfection of the public water supply and start feeding chlorine only for about six weeks, beginning on or about February 13, to disinfect the entire water production and distribution system. State and Federal regulations require that all public water systems feed chlorine for at least three weeks a year to ensure that no bacteria are present which may have adapted to the ammonia in the water. Customers who use kidney dialysis machines should be aware that the water will contain more chlorine for about six weeks, and then will go back to a chlorine and ammonia mixture on or about April 2.

Johnston County supplies water to most county residents and business, including Four Oaks, Princeton, Kenly, Pine Level, Micro, Wilson’s Mills, Clayton, and all Johnston County Water Districts except those on well water and those supplied by the Selma or Smithfield water systems. Public water users in the Benson areas may not be affected by this change. Johnston County has used a combination of ammonia and chlorine since September 1996 for disinfection of the public water supply to help reduce the level of trihalomethanes, a series of chemicals formed when water is disinfected using chlorine.

Most customers will not see any difference, but may notice a stronger chlorine odor about the water, and may observe color change. If you experience a color change which cannot be cleared by allowing your water to flush the lines in your house, or need to know how this affects you, call the number on your water bill for clarification. If you have other concerns about this change, call Johnston County Public Utilities at 989-5075.
