Base water update: Travis water quality officials from both DGMC's Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight and the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron determined Feb. 13 that chlorine levels have returned to normal operating ranges and that the water is safe to drink with no restrictions. Last week, the 60th CES identified and repaired the cause of the chlorine fluctuations within the base drinking water system. As a precaution, this past weekend, base officials continued with some water restrictions to ensure all remaining chlorine pockets were cleared from the system. Per normal daily practices, officials will continue to monitor the water system to ensure compliance with all State and Federal regulations. For more information, continue to monitor the Travis Facebook site, the Commander's Access Channel, and the Travis Straight Talk Line at 424-5728 for updates.
