The Town of Drumheller has increased the chemical used to control taste and odour at its water treatment facility.

 

The Town of Drumheller has increased the chemical used to control taste and odour in Town water. The Town's decision came after it received several complaints from residents about Drumheller's water quality January 10 and 11. The Town said older water from the raw water cells has moved through the water treatment plant as ice builds up in the reservoir, and the solar bee mixers effective circulation of the water is lessened.  As of Monday morning, the Town said the water being produced at its plant is free of any taste and odour, and Utilities Manager Brian Bolduc said the water is safe for consumption. The Town said they will be adding fresh water to the system where they can, and will continue to closely monitor the situation.
