All about chlorine removal All Ashland services

Ashland's treatment-plant chlorine residual in 2023 ranged 0.10 to 1.57 ppm with an average of 0.70 ppm — the highest peak residual in this list (2023 CCR). The disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite (free chlorine). Standard GAC handles it.

Because Ashland's source carries elevated total organic carbon (up to 6.16 ppm raw), chlorine reacts with the organics to form more DBPs than in the spring-fed Medford Water cities — a whole-home carbon that removes chlorine earlier in the plumbing tree also reduces ongoing DBP formation in your own pipes.
