Free Chlorine Burn - June 18, 2024 through approximately July 9, 2024

Free Chlorine Burn Starts June 18, 2024
All City of Edgewater's water customers along with Volusia County's Southeast Utility customers will be part of the Free Chlorine Burn. The City of Edgewater uses chloramines to disinfect the drinking water. To maintain the pipes that deliver your water, conventional free chlorine disinfection will replace chloramines for approximately three weeks starting on June 18, 2024 and continuing through approximately July 9, 2024.  The water will continue to meet Federal and State standards for safe drinking water, though you may notice a slightly different taste or odor. If you are especially sensitive to the taste or smell of chlorine, keep an open container of drinking water in your refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate. Dialysis Patients, users of kidney dialysis machines should not be impacted but should contact their dialysis care provider for more information about water testing and precautions regarding chlorine removal. Aquarium owners, please contact your local pet suppliers with any questions regarding your aquarium. The temporary change to free chlorine should not affect those with live fish if a system is already in place to remove chloramines.
