Grandview Plaza City Officials are in the process of fixing a problem with the City’s water.
Jerome Thomas, City Superintendent says the city takes quarterly
samples to meet state and EPA requirements, and right now Grandview Plaza is in non-compliance, but work is beginning to take place to address the issue.
“What it has is trimethylamine in the water, it’s an organic. We had to take some samples and then we had to send some public notices out to every citizen in Grandview Plaza that receives drinking water,” said Thomas.
The City has also met with Junction City officials along with representatives of Kansas Rural Water and KDHE. The plan moving forward is to introduce ammonia sulfate to the water in order to knock down the trimethylamine in the water.
Thomas did confirm that the water is safe to drink, despite the higher limits of trimethylamine.
