Rich Hill Free Chlorine Burnout Continues thru August 12th

RICH HILL, MO - The City of Rich Hill will began a free chlorine burnout of the water distribution system on Monday and will continue through the 12th of August.

The free chlorine burnout is a change in the disinfection process from chloramines to free chlorine and is a necessary process to eliminate any nitrification or build up in the distribution system.

This free chlorine doesn't contain ammonia, is a normal procedure and our water quality experts will monitor this process closely to ensure optimum levels of disinfectant are present.

Due to this temporary change customers may experience a temporary change in taste and odor, as well as a discoloration of water. The discoloration is due to the mineral build up in the pipes being removed by the flushing action.

There are no associated health risks or causes for concern. This temporary treatment change practice is recommended by the Department of Natural Resources.

If you have any questions, or need further information please call the Rich Hill City Hall at 417-395-2223.
