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 22nd) for total coliform bacteria.

According to a news release from the city, further testing was done on the sample and no e-coli were found in that sample.

A resample is being taken Thursday (September 24th) at DPS and at connections upstream and downstream from there.  Those results will be available late Friday.

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.
