Work has begun on a water media filter replacement project in the City of Knox.
The media at the Water Filtration Plant needs to be replaced. Media consists of gravel, sand, green sand and anthracite. The media is a filter that removes iron, manganese and hardness from the water before it reaches a consumer’s home.
The filter material is expected to correct the manganese levels in the water, which are currently above perimeters. It will improve the quality of water.
Water customers may experience cloudy or rusty water during this process. Let the water run until it is clear before consumption or other use.
Meanwhile, Spring leaf pick-up will be the first week of April and again the first week in May. Rake leaves to the curb, but remember to remove any other brush, sticks, twigs or other debris which could hamper efforts of the leaf vac machine. The Street Department will pick up brush on Thursdays.
