City of East St.Louis issued the following announcement on Aug. 17.
Illinois American Water Free Chlorine Switch
On Tuesday August 21, 2018 Illinois American Water will be temporarily changing the type of disinfectant used in the water as we always do at this time of year.
Instead of combining the chlorine in the water with ammonia, we will be adding chlorine only.
You will be notified when we go back to our normal type of disinfectant in approximately four to five weeks.
During this time we will also be conducting our annual distribution system flushing program.
We are also updating our contact information at this time. If you could please complete the attached emergency contact form and return it, that would be great.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Have a great week!
