2025 Free Chlorine Disinfection Notice
July 29, 2025
El Dorado Water Departement: Free Chlorine Disinfection Notice- August 4 through 31st 2025
What to Expect:
You may notice a chlorine taste or smell in the water. This is normal, and the water is safe to drink. To reduce chlorine taste or odor, use an affordable faucet-mounted filter or chill a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. Fire hydrant flushing may cause cloudy water, air bubbles, or slight pressure changes. Run your faucet until the water clears, and clean faucet screens if needed.
After August 31: The system will return to using chloramines, a milder disinfectant.
Special Notes: Dialysis patients: Ensure free chlrine is fully neutralized and consult your doctor. Aquarium owners: Monitor chlorine levels in tap water.
