Statewide Interest:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the maximum contamination level for TTHM has been lowered by the EPA and the FDEP, the city was forced to change our treatment process to meet the new standards.  Because of this change the color is very dark.  Even though it meets the standards except for color the residents do not have the comfort factor that they would with clear water.  The State awarded a grant to the city that allows us to inject floride into the drinking water.  Since we have many LMI and Farm Workers, it is important that these families drink the water which will reduce the necessity of dental work to the Health Department.
