CITY OF PRINCETON: Chlorine Levels In Water Temporarily Boosted

Hydrant

City of Princeton issued the following announcement on May 1.

In preparation for their semi-annual water main flushing program, the city of Princeton Water Department has increased the chlorine levels to the water. During this time customers may notice a slightly stronger odor of chlorine. If customers find this odor objectionable for drinking, they may keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator and the chlorine will dissipate after just a few minutes.

They are planning on starting the citywide hydrant flushing next month. During this time, customers may experience a chlorine odor, cloudy or discolored water and brief periods of low water pressure.

Residents are urged to be cautious near open fire hydrants.

Questions may be directed to the Princeton Water Plant at 815-872-0811, ext. 1304.
