This article discusses how the proximity of a treatment plant to an elementary school, response problems identified during a disaster drill, and the safety of customers prompted the Northern Kentucky Water District (District) to change its disinfection chemical from chlorine gas to its liquid alternative, sodium hypochlorite. Although the conversion process wasn't easy, the District's ultimate goal of a safer system was achieved.
