Annual Water System Maintenance Planned March 2 – 30, 2026

Rose Hill Special Utility District buys water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD).  NTMWD will temporarily change the disinfectant in its water treatment process from March 2 through 30, 2026. The annual, routine change is necessary to maintain the regional system and year-round water quality. During this time Rose Hill operators will be out in the district flushing lines and fire hydrants.

Disinfection is a critical part of the water treatment process that keeps drinking water free of harmful microorganisms, such as parasites and viruses. NTMWD’s water treatment plants use a two-step disinfection process where the water is treated, and then chloramine disinfectant (chlorine + ammonia) is added to maintain the water quality as it journeys through miles of pipes to homes and businesses. During the temporary change, NTMWD suspends adding ammonia and uses chlorine only to keep the water disinfected. This temporary change helps prepare the pipes for summer, when hotter temperatures can increase the potential for bacterial growth.
