annual flushing and treating of the water distribution system?
A. During the transitional stage of changing disinfectants, people report detecting the taste and odor of chlorine in their drinking water. This minor inconvenience is a temporary consequence of changing over to another disinfectant and does not represent any health problems. The water is safe to drink and can be safely consumed, or bottled water can be used during this time as a substitute if one finds this aesthetically displeasing. The annual flushing and treating of the water distribution system is performed as a precautionary measure and is recommended by the Volusia County Health Department. We appreciate your understanding during this operation as we strive to improve your water quality.
