A naturally occurring compound called geosmin has been rising. This happens in colder weather when algae in surface water die off, contributing to the strange taste and smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Ozonation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fort Worth has been using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/applications\/water-treatment.html\"> ozone as a disinfectant in all its treatment plants<\/a> since the fall of 2012. In fact, the city was a pioneer in Texas, using<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/applications\/water-treatment.html\"> ozone for primary disinfection<\/a> at the Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant since 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits of Ozonation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oxidizes Organic Matter<\/strong>: Ozone effectively breaks down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/applications\/water-treatment\/drinking-water.html\">organic matter in raw wate<\/a>r.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduces Chemical Use<\/strong>: By oxidizing organic materials, less coagulation chemicals are needed in the treatment process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Oxidation Tech Can Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Oxidation Tech, we provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxidationtech.com\/services.html\">services and repairs for city water drinking plants<\/a>.
