The author of this letter‐to‐the‐editor praises a recent article on ozonation (”A Treatment Plant Operator Assesses Ozonation,” Journal AWWA, August, 1985) and adds positive comments concerning the value of ozone in reducing chlorine demand. He states that ozone used in conjunction with conventional pretreatment may lower the chlorine demand enough to allow resumption of the free residual process and do away with the need to use chloramines to control trihalomethane formation.
