I had read the main reason they use the oxygen is to remove the sulfur stench that their water normally has.
Many people are saying that the sulfuric stench is actually coming off of DeSatan.
Purified drinking water shortage in Orlando eh? Due to a surge in covid yeah?
Well write a note to DeSantis about it. I am sure he will get right on it. He’ll come to Orlando and lay blame on anyone who is trying to stop the spread of covid.
I’m going to make a wild guess that the smaller cities and towns just deal with the sulfer smell because it’s probably expensive to get rid of. But Orlando and Disney World would take a massive financial hit if all the water for drinking, bathing, and swimming smelled like rotten eggs.
Odds are he’d outsource the issue to the Flint Michigan experts.
A little understanding of why Ozone is used as a disinfectant.
Ozone is significantly more effective than chlorine at inactivating and / or killing viruses, bacteria and cysts (e.g., Cryptosporidium and Giardia) and has been widely used in Europe for many years to treat municipal drinking water. It is growing in use in this country even though the initial construction costs are higher. Utilities who use Ozone for water treatment still need some use of free chlorine, chlorine dioxide or chloramines to maintain a residual capable of continuing to kill organisms throughout the distribution system.
Legislation over the past two decades, such as the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, Surface Water Treatment Rule, and other regulations place stricter rules on both the range and amount of disinfection needed and the concentrations of disinfection-by-products (e.g., trihalomethanes) allowed in drinking water. Ozone is safer.
Security concerns since 9/11 about the presence of large tanks of compressed, liquefied chlorine located in water plants in densely populated areas may also play a role in the utilization of ozone in the future.
Based on the Florida experience, water operations who use Ozone nationwide are on alert for supply chain issues should they develop.
And now you know.
There’s a story on cnn about supply chain disruptions…
There is no hope.
Bottled water it is.
Except Ozone is how bottled water companies purify the final product. Even if over 50% of bottled water comes from municipal water supplies.
Ozone is also used in Wastewater Treatment for final disinfection before discharging to rivers, etc.
As long as my water doesn’t smell like I’m in Hell while visiting Florida, I’m cool with whatever purification process is required.
So where is Orlando getting it’s drinking water? I see a bunch of lakes, so how is the sulfur taste getting into the water?
My water comes from the Missouri River, it used to a very long time ago come from the Meramec River, but we’re now on American Water. I know from Flint and the lead crisis that river water is more acidic than lake water, or at least Great Lake water, so anyone know why the sulfur smell/taste is in the water.
(I know a bit more about waste water systems than drinking water)
IT’s caused by hydrogen sulfide, which is a naturally occurring chemical that comes from the decomposition of rocks and plant material in the water.
Parts of florida are a 30 foot limestone cap over hell.
What about the RIGHTS of Floridians to water the hell out of their lawns? If an American citizen wants to turn their lawn into an aquatic sink-hole during an epic pandemic crisis they have the god-given right to do so & the government can go fck itself, they’ll turn my sprinkler off when they peel it from my cold, dead hands! Hospitals & potable water be DAMNED, this is America not some Marxist Socialist Communist Sh!thole Country like Portland or Paris* or Africa*!
*Note: these are not countries, obviously that’s part of the point
So what you and @thunderclapnewman are implying is that Florida really is just Hell with palm trees, and DeSantis is just the Devil spokesman on Earth?
Florida is rotting, explains much.
Speaking of oxygen, someone must have cut off his supply
