Sunrise Utilities Free Chlorine Notice Sunrise Utilities Department will use free chlorine from February 2 through February 27, 2015 The City of Sunrise maintains the highest quality standards to provide clean, safe drinking water to our Utilities Department customers, which include the cities of Sunrise, Weston, Southwest Ranches and parts of Davie. From February 2 through February 27, the Sunrise Utilities Department will use free chlorine in its drinking water treatment system to provide additional protection against bacteria. This temporary treatment of the water system is a common practice for water suppliers that use a chlorine (chloramine) water treatment method. This periodic program is recommended by the Florida Department of Health. The procedure does not cause any adverse health effects. However, some individuals may notice a slight change in the taste, odor or color of the water during this time. Special Considerations Kidney dialysis centers, nephrologists and hospitals have been notified in order for them to make any adjustments necessary in the various processes which they operate. Any questions regarding kidney dialysis should be directed to the users doctor or dialysis specialist. Some aquatic and marine animal species are sensitive to free chlorine; persons maintaining aquariums with any sensitive species may wish to contact their pet supply stores regarding dechlorination. Information about drinking water and health is available on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website, and through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline: 1-800-426-4791. For details regarding the City of Sunrises treatment system, please contact the Sunrise Utilities Department at 954-888-6000. Posted on January 21, 2015
