Carbon Dioxide is an essential component used in the treatment of drinking water.
NMB water requires carbon dioxide for its daily water treatment operations to ensure compliance with drinking water standards. It Is used to reduce the water pH following the lime softening treatment process.
The Parks Department Aquatics also uses Carbon Dioxide for the daily use of the swimming pools, as it is proven to be most effective in lowering pH. Lowering the pH is necessary to stabilize the water and ensure the safety and quality of the water supply.
The purchase of carbon dioxide ties in with the City’s Strategic plan by following the goals of a high performing city organization providing exceptional customer service through safe and reliable drinking water and recreational facilities.
