Why is MW increasing the pH?

• April 5, 2024 |

In 2019, we completed a Water Quality and Corrosion Study as part of our commitment to ensuring that our customers continue to receive the highest quality water. While we meet and surpass all applicable federal and state drinking water standards, the study concluded that increasing the pH of both of our sources would further enhance the water quality at customer’s taps by limiting the potential release of metals (such as copper, lead, and iron) from both customer’s private plumbing, and our distribution system watermains, improving the longevity of our system and allowing us to continue to serve our customers for years to come.
