Who will be affected by the conversion to chloramines?
All public water users in the City of Poughkeepsie, Town of Poughkeepsie, and Village of Wappingers Falls will be affected by the conversion to chloramines. In addition, users in the Greenbush area of the Town of Hyde Park also will be affected. However, most water users will not notice or need to pay close attention to the actual transition to chloramines with the exception of a few specific types of water users: renal centers and home dialysis patients, owners of tropical aquariums, and businesses that use chlorine-free water in their processes.
