As of May 29, Lee County Utilities will be ending the free chlorine flush which will involve converting its disinfection process from a free chlorine residual back to chloramines as our primary disinfectant.

Anyone who uses a kidney dialysis machine at home should contact his or her 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 water to tanks.

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

Even the though the conversion of disinfection will begin midnight on May 29, it will take approximately one week for the service area to be converted from a free chlorine residual to a chloramines residual.

For more information, please feel free to contact the Lee County Utilities office during regular business hours at 239-533-8181.
