Newell Regional Services Corporation (NRSC) is preparing to implement a change in the water treatment process in the City of Brooks and Municipalities within the County of Newell.

Commencing on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 a change from free chlorine to a combined use of chlorine and ammonia (chloramines) will occur.

NRSC is preparing to host an information open house on October 11th, 2012. Water treatment experts, the consulting engineer and representatives from Alberta Environment and Alberta Health Services will be in attendance to answer any questions or concerns. The open house will be held at the Heritage Inn Thursday, October 11 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

It is important that residents understand the process. The open house will provide a chance to exchange information, answer questions and concerns.

The safety of the public is held in the highest regard by Newell Regional Services Corporation. At no time will safety be compromised. We have retained experts in the field of water treatment in order to ensure all Provincial standards are either met or exceeded. Alberta Environment has approved the use of chloramines in other cities with no adverse effects. Newell Regional Services Corporation will adhere to the strict continual monitoring and sampling requirements of Alberta Environment to ensure the safety of the potable water supply for all customers.
