Pluris Wedgefield (“Pluris”) is pleased to announce that the disinfectant by-product, total tri-halomethane (“TTHM”) continues to be non-detected in Wedgefield drinking water. With the latest Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”) compliance analytical laboratory testing results on May 14, 2018, TTHM has been non-detected for the past five (5) quarters. A summary of the past FDEP compliance testing dating back to the beginning of the FDEP permitted pilot study evaluating chlorine dioxide is presented below.
The data continues to suggest that the conversion from chlorine to chlorine dioxide as the primary disinfectant has been a principal reason for the reduction of TTHM, as chlorine dioxide, unlike chlorine does not create an environment for the formation of TTHM.
As always, any customers with questions or desiring to visit the water treatment plant facility are encouraged to contact Mr. Joe Kuhns, Regional Manager for Pluris. He will personally schedule a facility visit for any customer wanting to observe the new chlorine dioxide treatment process, as well as the entire water treatment facility. Mr. Kuhns can be reached via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (813) 526-0608.
