From August 12th to September 2nd Jupiter will temporarily modify the water system disinfection process by using free chlorine, which may cause a chlorine taste or odor in the water during this period.
The Town will undergo free chlorination maintenance beginning August 12, 2025 through September 2, 2025. This temporary process distributes free chlorine in place of combined chlorine (a mix of ammonia and chlorine) to proactively disinfect the distribution system and guard against bacterial growth. Free chlorine is an approved disinfectant for drinking water and is safe to drink. This routine industry practice is recommended by federal, state and local regulators. The addition of chlorine is closely monitored and maintained within the safe range required by drinking water regulations. The maintenance program will include daily testing to monitor water quality. Residents may taste or smell chlorine in the water during the maintenance period. If you have concerns about your specific health needs, please consult your doctor.
