ALERTS

Our water supplier, the City of El Dorado, will use free chlorine for water disinfection from August 4 to August 31, 2025, to maintain a healthy water system, as recommended by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

What to Expect:

• You may notice a chlorine taste or smell in the water. This is normal, and the water is safe to drink.
• To reduce chlorine taste or odor, use an affordable faucet-mounted filter or chill a pitcher of water in the refrigerator.
• Fire hydrant flushing may cause cloudy water, air bubbles, or slight pressure changes. Run your faucet until the water clears, and clean faucet screens if needed.

After August 31: The system will return to using chloramines, a milder disinfectant.

Special Notes:

• Dialysis patients: Ensure free chlorine is fully neutralized and consult your doctor.
• Aquarium owners: Monitor chlorine levels in tap water.
