Wichita eyes ozone trial to end city water odor
Wichita officials will test adding ozone gas to the water supply for 30 days to curb a persistent musty odor. If odor decreases, the council may approve a 2.1 million dollar annual treatment cost, about one dollar monthly for a typical family, with water remaining safe to drink. The odor likely stems from blue-green algae in Cheney Reservoir fed by farm fertilizer runoff.
