WATER DISINFECTION PROCESS

 Residents of Wellington, Wycliffe, Farmington Estates and Victoria Groves may notice a slight chlorine taste and odor in the drinking water during the period March 24 through April 7, 2008.  This will have been caused by a temporary change in the water disinfection process.

The water disinfection process in the above areas will change from the present combined chlorine treatment to a temporary free chlorine treatment. Periodic use of this temporary treatment process is recommended by the Health Department as a precautionary measure to ensure that water to customers remains free of bacteria.  These temporary conditions will not cause adverse health effects.

Due to the temporary change in the disinfection process, specialized users 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.

The temporary treatment process will be discontinued on April 8, 2008 and treatment will revert to the preexisting combined chlorine treatment process from that date.  To learn more about your water, our Water Quality Report is posted on our website at www.ci.wellington.fl.us. 

If you have any questions, please call Sean McFarland (Water Facility Supervisor) at
791-4037 or Ed Wasielewski (Utility Director) at 791-4014.

Mayor Tom Wenham, Vice Mayor Bob Margolis, along with Council Members Lizbeth Benacquisto, Laurie Cohen and Dr Carmine Priore, are pleased to bring exciting and innovative programs to the Village, always looking for ways to improve services for all its residents.   For information on other Village programs, events, and activities, please visit the website at www.ci.wellington.fl.us or watch Channel 18 for the latest Village happenings.
