The Little City of Lake Worth Continues to Alter Water Chlorination Process (process ends Sept. 6)

From the Press Release: To maintain high water quality in the City of Lake Worth water distribution system, the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant will temporarily change the water chlorination methods for two weeks from August 14, 2015 through September 6, 2015. The City of Lake Worth will also increase hydrant flushing during this time. This is a preventive maintenance process.

Starting August 14, 2015 a “free chlorine residual” water treatment method will be used to provide a somewhat stronger disinfection process than the “combined chlorine or Chloramines” treatment which is normally used. The City of Lake Worth will revert back to the “combined chlorine” method by September 6, 2015. As part of this process, the City of Lake Worth will be flushing fire hydrants. This flushing will cause temporary water in the swales of the roadways. Please do not be alarmed by this water as it will dissipate within a few hours.
