The Knoxville (Tenn.) Utilities Board (KUB) has begun a test using the chemical chlorine dioxide in its water-purification process on a trial basis.
"Chlorine dioxide is a remarkably effective and safe way to purify drinking water for our customers," says Bill Elmore, KUB's chief operating officer. "This change will help us provide even better-tasting water while at the same time anticipating stricter drinking water standards by limiting the amount of chlorine we use."
