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.
