Deerfield-News.com-Deerfield Beach, Fl-Nothing seems to get readers to send us emails more than Deerfield Beach drinking water. Over the past few years, we have uncovered the fact Deerfield Beach had failed it’s testing for 36 straight months. Had a water treatment plant in decay.(pictures below)
Now hopefully our situation is better. We noticed today that Delray Beach has some ongoing issues and the states Inspector General is now involved. Deerfield-News.com has requested our most recent testing from the city and the state of Florida and will publish the results as soon as we receive them.
From the city of Deerfield-Beach-
As part of our efforts to ensure that the drinking water we supply is of the highest quality possible, the City of Deerfield Beach Environmental Services Department will begin its annual free chlorination treatment of the water distribution system on September 9, 2020. This is a three-week process that will end on September 30, 2020.
This switch to free chlorination treatment is a common practice for water systems using chloramines as a disinfectant. During the free chlorination, residents may notice a slight change in taste, odor, and color of the tap water. The water will remain safe for drinking, cooking, bathing and any other household use. During this period our utility crews will also be flushing fire hydrants throughout the City. This may cause temporary water discoloration in the respective area. If this happens, please run the water from your faucets until the water clears.
Residents undergoing dialysis or whom have a compromised immune system and are currently undergoing treatment should seek advice from their primary physician to determine if their treatment needs to be adjusted during this free chlorination period. Also, grocery stores, pet stores, bait stores, restaurants and residents who have aquariums and fish or lobster tanks that use city water must adjust the chlorine treatment procedure during the free chlorination period.
For additional information on this change in the water treatment process, please contact the Water Plant at 954‐480‐4370.
REMEMBER WHEN THEY HID THESE PICTURES OF OUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN DECAY FROM US!
