The City of Three Rivers is adding chlorine to the water supply as a precautionary measure after having a positive bacteriological sample taken at the Department of Public Services (DPS) building on South Lincoln Avenue on Tuesday (September 8th) for total coliform bacteria.

According to a news release from DPS Director Jim Rozeboom, further testing was done on the sample and no e-coli were found in the sample.

A resample was being taken Wednesday (September 9th) at DPS and at connections upstream and downstream from there.  Those results will be available late Thursday.

Starting Wednesday chlorine is being added to the water supply as a precautionary measure to the unconfirmed positive sample and will continue until good samples are confirmed.

If you have questions, please call the Three Rivers Department of Public Services at (269) 273-1845.
