BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright \u00a9 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) \u2014 Customers serviced by the City of Boynton Beach for water may notice a different taste and\/or smell as the New Year gets underway. The City of Boynton Beach\u2019s water system is going to be \u201cchlorine flushed\u201d <\/p>\n

Here is the official announcement from the City of Boynton Beach as transmitted to BocaNewsNow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The City of\u00a0Boynton Beach\u00a0Water\u00a0Utility will temporarily change its\u00a0water\u00a0treatment disinfection process to free chlorination\u00a0beginning Thursday, January 8, 2026, through Thursday, January 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

This temporary change is a standard, preventive maintenance practice in which the Utility switches to a stronger disinfection method to ensure the potable\u00a0water\u00a0delivered to customers remains of the highest quality. During this period, customers may notice a slight change in the odor or tasteof their\u00a0water. The City\u2019s Drinking\u00a0Water\u00a0Distribution System will continue to meet all federal and state\u00a0water\u00a0quality standards\u00a0throughout the chlorination period.<\/p>\n

Customers who are particularly sensitive to the taste or odor of chlorine may place an open container of drinking\u00a0waterin the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.<\/p>\n

Due to this temporary change, users of home dialysis machines, owners of tropical fish aquariums, and managers ofstores and restaurants with holding tanks for fish and shellfish\u00a0are advised to seek professional guidance on how to operate their equipment during this period, as the method for removing chlorine residuals differs from removing chloramine residuals from tap\u00a0water. Any changes will be eliminated once the Utility reverts to its normal disinfection method at the conclusion of the chlorine flush period.<\/p>\n

This procedure is a preventive maintenance measure\u00a0to help maintain the integrity of the City\u2019s\u00a0Water\u00a0Distribution System.<\/p>\n
