Fort Lauderdale, Florida – The Peele Dixie Water Treatment Plant will temporarily stop operating for a standard maintenance check beginning Monday, November 4, but residents in Southwest and Southeast Fort Lauderdale should not worry about their tap water. Part of a scheduled pre-maintenance effort centered on the Fort Lauderdale Country Club wellfield, the shutdown will be in place until Sunday, November 10.
Water supplies to the impacted areas will not be disrupted during this time. Rather, the Fiveash Water Treatment Plant will service those who usually get their water from the Peele Dixie plant. City authorities reassure that the change is properly scheduled and will not compromise the ongoing water supply.
Residents might notice, nevertheless, a small alteration in the look of their water. This is so because the two factories apply different treatment technologies. The Fiveash Plant uses advanced reverse osmosis technology, although its lime softening technique can cause the water to seem somewhat different in color than normal output of the Peele Dixie Plant.
The water remains entirely safe to drink in spite of this small modification. The water from Fiveash satisfies all main drinking water criteria, according to city authorities. While maintenance is being done at Peele Dixie, a normal process is the temporary transition to the Fiveash facility. This comes as the city takes steps to assure local residents that the safety and quality of the water will always be given top priority.
The City of Fort Lauderdale has advised people who have questions or concerns about the temporary modifications to get in touch with the Customer Call Center at (954) 828-8000 or by email at [email protected].
The City of Fort Lauderdale works to minimize any disruption caused by the repair period and values the cooperation and understanding of the residents. Frequent updates on the state of the maintenance will be made accessible to guarantee residents are kept informed.
