Village of Wellington: Water Disinfection Process
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WATER DISINFECTION PROCESS
Residents of Wellington, Wycliffe, Farmington Estates and Victoria Groves may notice a slight chlorine taste and odor in their drinking water during the period October 14ththrough October 23rd, 2013. This is due to a temporary change in the water disinfection process.
The water disinfection process in the above areas 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.
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.
The temporary treatment process will be discontinued on October 23rd, 2013 and treatment will revert to the pre-existing combined chlorine treatment process.
To learn more about your water, our Water Quality Report is posted on our website at www.wellingtonfl.gov
