The City of Tempe's Water Utilities Department announces the removal of gaseous chlorine from its water treatment plants. Gaseous chlorine, typically stored in 1-ton cylinders, was used in the plants' water treatment disinfection processes. Gaseous chlorine is being replaced with a process that no longer uses potentially hazardous chemicals.

"We are pleased to be the first city in Arizona to announce the removal of gaseous chlorine from our water treatment plants," said Tom Gallier, water utilities manager. "By removing these cylinders, we're setting a new standard for safety. We've increased the physical security of our plants and made the entire City safer for our residents".
