The Kansas Department of Health and Environment routinely recommends that public water supplies that utilize a combined chlorine residual, perform an annual cleaning of the water distribution system with a free chlorine residual.

The City of Parsons plans to use a free chlorine residual starting Monday, June 15 and running for approximately one month. During that period of time, users may notice some chlorine tastes and odors in the water. There is no cause for alarm and this is being done purely as a precautionary measure, and as part of the ongoing efforts to provide the people of Parsons with the safest possible drinking water.

For questions regarding this process, call 620-421-7020.
