How much will the pH change?

• April 5, 2024 |

Currently, the pH of water entering our drinking water system from Big Butte Springs is approximately 7.0, and 7.3 for the water entering from the Rogue River. This small increase in pH, using sodium hydroxide, will eventually bring both sources to a target of approximately 7.8. This number is well within the common drinking water pH range of 6.5-8.5.
