Water disinfection process to start Oct. 20

WELLINGTON - Residents of Wellington, Wycliffe, Farmington Estates and Victoria Groves may notice a slight chlorine taste and odor in the drinking water starting Oct. 20 through Nov. 3.

But there's nothing to worry about.

"It's just routine maintenance," said Sean McFarland, water facility supervisor.

In order to keep the water free of bacteria the water must go through periodic treatment and cleaning.

However, while the drinking water will not be affected, people who have specialized uses of water such as tropical fish owners, residents with pools, businesses, hospitals, and blood/dialysis clinics may need to make adjustments in order to continue to maintain their present water quality parameters.
