PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Change in Drinking Water Disinfectant from Chlorine to Chloramines effective March 27, 2026

Public Water System ID# 1011928

Dear valued customer, on or after March 27, 2026, Reid Road MUD #2 will be changing the drinking water disinfectant that we use from chlorine to chloramines. This change is required for the conversion to surface water and intended to benefit our customers by reducing the levels of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in the system, while still providing protection from waterborne disease.

However, the change to chloramines can cause problems to persons dependent on dialysis machines. A condition known as hemolytic anemia can occur if the disinfectant is not completely removed from the water that is issued for the dialysate. Consequently, the pretreatment scheme used for the dialysis units must include some means, such as a properly sized and maintained activated charcoal filter, for removing the chloramine prior to this date. Medical facilities should also determine if additional precautions are required for other medical equipment.

In addition, chloraminated water may be toxic to fish. If you have a fish tank, please make sure that the chemicals or filters that you are using are designed for use in water that has been treated with chloramines. You may also need to change the type of filter that you use for the fish tank.

NOTIFICACION PUBLICA: Cambio del desinfectante de agua potable de cloro a cloraminas a partir del 27 de marzo de 2026

Public Water System ID# 1011928

Estimado cliente: A partir del 27 de marzo de 2026, Reid Road MUD #2 cambiará el desinfectante que utilizamos de cloro a cloraminas. Este cambio tiene como objetivo beneficiar a nuestros clientes al reducir los niveles de subproductos de desinfección (DBP) en el sistema, al mismo tiempo que brinda protección contra enfermedades transmitidas por el agua.

Sin embargo, el cambio de cloraminas puede causar problemas a las personas dependientes de las máquinas de diálisis. Una condición conocida como anemia hemolítica puede producirse si el desinfectante no es completamente eliminado del agua que se expida por el dializado. En consecuencia, el régimen de tratamiento previo utilizados para la diálisis debe incluir algunos medios, como un filtro de carbón, para eliminar la cloramina antes de esa fecha. Instalaciones médicas también deben determinar si se requieren precauciones adicionales para otros equipos médicos.

Además, cloraminas de agua pueden ser tóxicos para los peces. Si usted tiene un tanque de peces, por favor, asegúrese de que los productos químicos o filtros que está utilizando están diseñados para su uso en el agua que ha sido tratada con cloro. También puede ser necesario cambiar el tipo de filtro que se utiliza para el acuario.
