The other chemical calcium thiosulfate is used in destroying the excess or free ozone remaining in the water before the filtering process. This ordinance authorizes the addition of two water treatment chemicals to the list for the purpose of treating drinking water, upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
