Spring chlorine odour

During spring runoff the snow melts and flows into the North Saskatchewan river, bring with it sediment and other organic materials. EPCOR prepares for this by adjusting the treatment process which can lead to the water having a stronger than usual chlorine smell.

The water is still safe to drink and the change in odour is temporary, as the spring melt finishes the water will return to normal.

More information can be found on EPCOR's website.
