The City of Sanford normally uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine to disinfect its drinking water . However , the N . C . Division of Water Resources requires all water filtration facilities to stop using ammonia for 30 days to help maintain a high quality of water .
This notice is to let water customers know the City of Sanford Water Filtration Facility will stop adding ammonia during our water disinfection process on March 1 , 2024 . We will resume adding ammonia to the disinfection process on April 1 , 2024 . Additionally , we will flush the water mains throughout our system during this time to remove sediment in the water lines and refresh the entire distribution system .
During the changes in our disinfection process and flushing of the system , City of Sanford water customers may notice a chlorine odor and/or discoloration in their water . Your water , however , will still be safe for drinking , bathing , and other daily uses . While there are no associated health risks with the odor or discoloration , you may want to limit certain activities ( such as washing clothes ) during this time .
If you notice discoloration at the tap , allowing the water to run for 5 to 10 minutes should clear up the problem . Also , if you have aquatic pets , you may want to consult your local pet store to ask how this may affect your pet’s habitat .
Customers with concerns or questions should contact the water filtration facility at 919 - 777 - 1803 .
