The scouring process helps to remove corrosion scale and sediment that accumulate naturally over time. If otherwise left in place, these deposits could degrade water quality and restrict pipeline carrying capacity. ( Water Department - City of Larned )

Question 36

At the levels that cause mild discoloration, these solids are not harmful, although they may impart an undesirable taste to the water. ( Water Department - City of Larned )
