Lee County Utilities will temporarily convert its disinfectant process from chloramines to free chlorine residual from May 1 through May 29.

This is a routine measure for water utilities using chloramines as the primary disinfectant and is intended to ensure customers of clean, safe potable water.

Anyone who uses a kidney dialysis machine at home should contact an equipment supplier so the proper filtering equipment may be installed.

Tropical fish or aquatic animal owners should contact a local tropical fish store for appropriate pretreatment of water before adding it to tanks.

Customers may notice a temporary change in the taste, odor, and color of the water, which is not harmful.

For questions, contact the Lee County Utilities office at (239) 533-8845.
