City water treatment discussed after corrosion complaints
Public Works Director Ken Dawson presented three options on testing and treating city water to address pipe corrosion and plant irrigation issues. The plan includes ongoing lab tests on city and customer treated water, sodium increase analyses from zeolite systems, and evaluating reduced sodium with potential hardness and scaling effects. Culligan representatives contested the softening link, attributing corrosion to oxygen added during conditioning.
