Residents may notice a temporary change in their tap water beginning July 14 as the City of Coral Springs and local water providers conduct a routine chlorination and flushing program to maintain water quality.
According to the city, the effort, which will continue through July 28, involves a temporary switch in the disinfectant used to treat water. The City of Coral Springs Utilities & Engineering Division, Royal Waterworks, Coral Springs Improvement District, and North Springs Improvement District will all participate in the treatment, following guidelines set by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
During these two weeks, residents may detect a chlorine taste or odor in their water. Additionally, fire hydrant flushing will take place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily, which may result in temporary water discoloration or reduced water pressure.
City officials emphasize that these conditions are not harmful to health and are part of regular maintenance procedures aimed at minimizing the buildup of minerals and ensuring fire hydrants remain operational for emergency use.
Residents are advised to:
- Check for water clarity before doing laundry.
- Set aside water for drinking or cooking in advance.
- Run cold water for 5 to 10 minutes if discoloration occurs.
- Contact their physician if undergoing kidney dialysis.
- Consult pet stores for guidance if they keep aquatic pets.
- Reach out to filtration system manufacturers for filter use recommendations.
For those sensitive to chlorine, officials suggest storing an open container of tap water in the refrigerator, which allows chlorine to dissipate. Stored tap water should be replaced weekly.
