Maintaining Water Quality in the Midst of Storms

| Alerts

At Talquin, we proudly serve approximately 26,000 water accounts across 25 separate systems. Our goal is to ensure that our communities have access to safe, clean water.

Even during storms, our water system remains pressurized and disinfected, supported by backup generators throughout the water systems. After severe weather, we conduct comprehensive inspections and tests to ensure everything operates optimally.

Our dedication to water safety doesn’t stop when the storm has passed. We conduct regular testing year-round, including:

• Daily Checks: Our team monitors the wells and distribution system throughout the day, adjusting as needed to maintain high water quality. We also test for chlorine levels and check for any discoloration.
• Weekly Sampling: We conduct weekly biological tests to confirm effective disinfection.

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, regardless of the weather.
