Annually, the City of Naples Utilities Department temporarily changes the disinfection process for the City’s potable (drinking water) water supply as part of water quality maintenance.

Beginning 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟑𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, the Utilities Department will disinfect the water with free chlorine rather than combined chlorine/ammonia (chloramines).

This annual conversion to free chlorine (a stronger disinfectant) from chloramines (a longer-lasting disinfectant) allows a water distribution system purge as recommended by the Department of Environmental Protection for water utilities using chloramines as their primary disinfectant.

This temporary change in disinfectant does not cause adverse health effects. However, during the period, customers may experience a slight increase in the taste and odor of the water due to the change in treatment.
