In an effort to better monitor the <br />disinfection process of the City's water system, the Agency is adding <br />Total Residual Chlorine Analyzers to monitor the chlorine levels at <br />major water pumping stations. <br />City staff currently test chlorine levels at pumping stations twice per <br />week as part of the water treatment process. Installation of chlorine <br />analyzers will provide continuous chlorine level readings, automatically <br />recorded for early detection of changes in water quality, allowing <br />operators to make immediate changes to the water disinfection process as <br />needed. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on April 2, 2008 and bids were <br />solicited.
