County's Annual Chlorination Process of Water Begins
-- Public Advisory --

Miami Beach, FL - The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department will temporarily use a free chlorine treatment at each of its regional water treatment facilities from November 3 through 16, 2003 that will provide a somewhat stronger disinfection process than the combined chlorine treatment which is normally used. During this period of change in treatment, water consumers may experience unusual chlorine taste or odor in the tap water. However, these temporary conditions will not cause adverse health effects. This periodic change in chlorine treatment has taken place annually and will provide additional protection against bacteria. Miami-Dade County provides water to the City of Miami Beach. The City of Miami Beach regrets any inconvenience customers may experience during this period.

For more information, call the City of Miami Beach Water & Sewer Division at 305-673-7625.
