The Burlington Municipal Waterworks will change from chloramines to free chlorine for disinfection the first week in September 2024. This change to free chlorine will last approximately one month. The Burlington Municipal Waterworks makes this change annually to maintain water quality in the distribution system. RRWA customers in Des Moines County and eastern Henry County including the communities of Mediapolis and Mount Union may notice your water has a stronger chlorine taste and smell during this time. Your water is safe to drink. Please contact Jer Buckingham, RRWA’s Plant Superintendent, at 1-800-233-8849 with any questions about your drinking water.
