PUBLIC NOTIFICATION FOR CITY OF LAKE WORTH TO ALTER WATER CHLORINATION PROCESS
JUNE 1, 2016 THROUGH JUNE 19, 2016

Este contiene informaciĆ³n importante sobre su agua potable. Traducir, o hablar con alguien que entiende bien.

To maintain high water quality in the water distribution system, the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant will temporarily change the water chlorination methods for two weeks from June 1, 2016 through June 19, 2016.  The City of Lake Worth will also increase hydrant flushing during this time.  This is a preventive maintenance process.

Starting June 1, a “free chlorine residual” water treatment method will be used to provide a somewhat stronger disinfection process than the “combined chlorine or Chloramines” treatment which is normally used.  The City of Lake Worth will revert back to the “combined chlorine” method by June 19, 2016.  As part of this process, the City of Lake Worth will be flushing fire hydrants.  This flushing will cause temporary water in the swales of the roadways.  Please do not be alarmed by this water as it will dissipate within a few hours.

The City of Lake Worth and their consecutive systems water utility customers including Lake Osborne Estates, Hypoluxo Village, John Prince Park, Lantana Cascade and Palm Breezes Club may notice a slight chlorine taste or odor in their tap water during this period.  However, these temporary conditions will not cause adverse health effects.  If you are especially sensitive to the taste or odor of chlorine, keep an open container of drinking water in your refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.  Tropical fish tank owners, hospitals, dialysis patients and residents with pools should be aware of the chlorination changes and make adjustments accordingly. 

Any questions should be directed to the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant at 561.586.1710.

Thank you Amon 1:34 now take off your tin foil hat and use it as a funnel to pour bottled water down your gullet.

The water is fine.

I am surprised all you environmentalist you're not complaining about the excess of water flooding into the Swales. Then again, maybe you're not complaining because, you're urban camper and hobo types can use them as a giant bathtubs.

maybe no one is complaining because they don't want another general obligation bond thrown down their rusty little throats which will be a reality in the future from your buddies.

Wanting a clean environment does not equate with hobos bathing from fire hydrants. Do we need anger management classes or basic logic counseling here?
