Water Disinfectant to Temporarily Change – No Impact to Public Health

As part of routine maintenance, free chlorine will be used as a disinfecting agent in water serving all areas of the city except Western Branch, along Airline Boulevard, Camelot, Brentwood and the Cavalier Industrial Park, November 18 – December 16. You may notice a chlorine-like smell, often referred to as a “swimming pool smell,” and brief discoloration during the change. This is normal and not harmful, and no action on your part is needed. Kidney dialysis patients and fish owners should continue to follow the standard water treatment process for chloramines, as this also removes free chlorine. Read the full announcement.
