Residents within Wellington’s water service area might notice a slight chlorine taste and odor in the drinking water from Saturday, July 12 through Monday, July 28. This is due to a temporary change in the water disinfection process.
The water disinfection process will change from the present combined chlorine treatment to a temporary free chlorine treatment. Periodic use of this temporary treatment process is recommended by the health department as a precautionary measure to ensure that water to customers remains free of bacteria. These temporary conditions will not cause adverse health effects for normal usage.
Due to the temporary change in the disinfection process, specialized users of water — such as tropical fish owners, residents with pools, businesses, hospitals and blood/dialysis clinics — may need to make adjustments in order to continue to maintain their present water quality parameters.
If you have any questions, call Water Treatment Facility Supervisor Karla Berroteran (561) 791-4037 or Village Engineer Bill Riebe at (561) 791-4000.
