From May 6 to May 27, water distributed to these neighborhoods will be converted from chloramine to chlorine disinfection. The system is scheduled to return to chloramine disinfection by May 28. 

Customers within the affected areas may notice a slight difference in the taste and odor of their drinking water while chlorine is in use. 

Dialysis machine users and aquarium fish owners are advised to seek professional advice to ensure that the pretreatment steps they currently use to remove chloramines will accommodate the scheduled change in water disinfection. Customers with any health questions or concerns are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider.
