Beginning Monday, May 10, and continuing through Monday, June 28, 2021, Evansville Water and Sewer Utility will be using free chlorine rather than the regularly used disinfectant (chloramine).
Twice a year, in the spring and summer, they temporarily change the disinfectant used in the water treatment process.
They say this is a standard water treatment practice to keep water mains clean and free of potentially harmful bacteria throughout the year.
Customers may notice a slight change in the taste or smell of their tap water.
Officials say the mild chlorine taste and smell are typical and pose no health risk.
This is the first of two disinfectant switchovers, with the second switch coming in August.
