CITY OF MOUNT AIRY WATER SYSTEM UPDATE

The City of Mount Airy continues to work diligently to address the taste and odor concerns affecting portions of our public water system. Independent third-party laboratory results have confirmed the City’s testing and support the treatment measures currently being utilized. Laboratory testing also confirmed elevated levels of geosmin in the reservoir, a naturally occurring compound associated with algae that can cause an earthy taste and odor in water.

City staff will continue testing and flushing the water system, and additional samples will be submitted to the independent laboratory for continued verification. Due to the size of our distribution system, improvements will take time to reach all areas, and cooler weather should also help improve conditions. We appreciate everyone's continued patience as our staff works diligently to resolve this issue.

CITY OF MOUNT AIRY WATER UPDATE: The City continues to test the water daily and has also sent water samples to an independent private laboratory for additional verification. City staff remains in communication with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) regarding the situation.
Please be assured that the water distributed through the City of Mount Airy water system remains safe for human consumption. The City's treated water is routinely tested for chlorine, turbidity, pH, and other required water-quality parameters to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state drinking water standards. We are still receiving “earthy taste and odor” complaints, so this week we began adding more activated carbon to the treatment process. Also, we are now operating the City’s back-up water plant (that pulls water from a different source) to aid in the distribution of the water. City staff will continue monitoring the system, adjusting the treatment process as necessary, testing water throughout the distribution system, and flushing hydrants in affected areas. While the treatment process removes the algae, these taste- and odor-causing compounds can be more difficult to remove completely. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank your for your patience.
