KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (WBTV) - The staff at the City of Kannapolis Water Treatment Plant have been recognized as one of 66 plants in North Carolina to surpass state and federal standards for clean water. This is the 6th consecutive year the City has achieved this honor.According to a news release, the City has earned the North Carolina's Area Wide Optimization Program Award, which means turbidity levels in the City's water is below federal and state minimums – which is a good thing. Turbidity is a measure of cloudiness or haziness in the water caused by particles that can interfere with disinfection.
