A Tampa Water Department maintenance project is expected to affect some Hillsborough County water customers, including those living in Pebble Creek, according to a Hillsborough County news release.
The Tampa Water Department plans to temporarily change its water disinfection process to chlorine, from March 8 to March 29.
The water distributed in Pebble Creek during that period will be converted from chloramine to chlorine disinfection.
The system is scheduled to return to chloramine disinfection by March 30, according to the release.
Customers within the affected areas may notice a slight difference in the taste and odor of their drinking water while chlorine is in use.
Users of dialysis machines and owners of aquarium fish are advised to seek professional advice to ensure that the pretreatment steps they currently use to remove chloramines will accommodate the scheduled change in water disinfection.
Customers with any health questions or concerns are encouraged to contact their health care provider.
For additional information, customers may contact Hillsborough County Water Quality at 813-264-3835 or 813-744-5544.
