Free Chlorine Burn - May 6th through approximately May 27th 2025

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 3 weeks.  Beginning on May 6, 2025 through approximately May 27, 2025. The City of Edgewater's water customers along with Volusia County's Southeast Utility customers will be the customers affected.  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: Those with questions regarding their aquariums should contact their local per suppliers. The temporary change to free chlorine should not affect those with live fish if a system is already in place to remove chloramines.

If you have any questions or need further information please contact Edgewater's Alan R. Thomas Drinking Water Plant at 386.424.2400 ext. 4030.
