The City of Groves Water Plant will be changing from Chloramines to Free Chlorine in the month of June 2020. This is a process that is done once a year in the summer time. It is an approved method by TCEQ to clean water pipes and provide a reliable disinfectant residual throughout all points in the distribution system.  The water will have a slight chlorine smell to it. This is normal when switching to Free Chlorine. We want to reassure the public that the water is safe to use for consumption and daily activities. Customers may notice increased flushing throughout the water distribution system during this time period, and possibly after the free chlorine switch.
Arrangements have been made for Groves businesses to participate at no cost on  Beaumont Enterprise advertisement promotion.  This will let the public know that your Groves business is open for business.  Please contact Edna McZeal at  713-501-2833 or email emczeal@hearstnp.com

This will place your business on a full page ad in the paper as well as digital for 9 separate runs.
