Description
From the City of Safety Harbor:
September 4, 2020
The method of water treatment for Pinellas County and its wholesale customers will be temporarily modified between Sunday, September 20, and Friday, October 9. The second of two short-term changes from chloramine to chlorine disinfection in 2020 is a routine maintenance measure designed to optimize water quality. Those that will benefit from this program include Pinellas County Utilities water customers, as well as customers in the cities of Clearwater, Pinellas Park, and Safety Harbor. The disinfection program is designed to maintain distribution system water quality and minimize the potential for any future problems. There have been no indications of significant bacteriological contamination problems in the system. The water will continue to meet all federal and state standards for safe drinking water. Kidney dialysis patients should contact their dialysis care provider for more information about chlorine treatment. Fish owners should not be affected if they already have a system in place to remove chloramines, but should contact local pet suppliers with any questions. Customers may notice a slight difference in the taste and/or odor of the water during this temporary change in treatment.
