Davie to Switch to Free Chlorine Disinfection for Water System Maintenance May 10-31Source: Town of Davie website

Davie residents, it's time to brace for a slight shift in your water. The Town of Davie Utilities Department announced plans to switch to free chlorine disinfection for a three week maintenance blitz starting May 10 through May 31. According to the town's official notice, this temporary change is green-lit by the Florida Department of Health and it's perfectly safe to drink up—though you might notice a bit different taste or a hint of chlorine in the shower.

The town assures that this is a standard procedure, so no harmful effects should come forward from your tap. But during this period, don't be surprised to see running hydrants around the neighborhood—it's all part of keeping things flowing right.

In the interest of those with special needs, the town didn't miss a beat. Dialysis centers, hospitals, and nephrologists in Davie are already looped in to make necessary preparations. "Kidney dialysis centers, nephrologists and hospitals have been notified in order for them to make any adjustments necessary in the various processes in which they operate," says the town's notice. And for you aquarium enthusiasts, it might be time to pay a visit to the pet store to chat about dechlorination—better safe than sorry for your finned friends.

And if you're lying awake at night with questions, the Town of Davie Utilities Department's got answers. Give them a ring at 954-327-3742 during office hours, or at 954-327-3750 after hours. They're there Monday to Thursday, ready to serve from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., according to the posted announcement
