Boynton Beach to Flush Water Lines with Chlorine

The City of Boynton Beach Water Utility will temporarily change its water treatment disinfection process to free chlorination beginning Thursday, January 8, 2026, through Thursday, January 29, 2026.

This temporary change is a standard, preventive maintenance practice in which the Utility switches to a stronger disinfection method to ensure the potable water delivered to customers remains of the highest quality. During this period, customers may notice a slight change in the odor or taste of their water. The City’s Drinking Water Distribution System will continue to meet all federal and state water quality standards throughout the chlorination period.

Customers who are particularly sensitive to the taste or odor of chlorine may place an open container of drinking water in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.

Due to this temporary change, users of home dialysis machines, owners of tropical fish aquariums, and managers of stores and restaurants with holding tanks for fish and shellfish are advised to seek professional guidance on how to operate their equipment during this period, as the method for removing chlorine residuals differs from removing chloramine residuals from tap water. Any changes will be eliminated once the Utility reverts to its normal disinfection method at the conclusion of the chlorine flush period.

This procedure is a preventive maintenance measure to help maintain the integrity of the City’s Water Distribution System.

For additional information, please contact the Water Quality Division at 561-742-6964, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
