PUBLIC NOTICE
Precautionary Water Chlorination
Date: September 25, 2026
Affected Area: The Village of Baldwin is initiating a precautionary water chlorination process beginning on September 25, 2026.
Why is this happening?
This action is being taken as a standard safety precaution due to a positive bacteria sample.
Please be assured that there is no confirmed contamination and no immediate health risk. This is a proactive step to ensure the continued safety and quality of your drinking water.
What should residents expect?
• Taste and Odor: You may notice a slight chlorine taste or odor in your tap water over the next few days. This is normal and temporary.
• Water Safety: The water remains safe to drink, cook with, and use for all daily activities.
• Duration: The chlorination process is expected to last approximately 1 week.
Helpful Tips
• To reduce chlorine taste: Pour water into a pitcher and let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator for a few hours before drinking.
• Sensitive Users: If you have severe chemical sensitivities, manage a commercial aquarium, or use specialized water treatment for medical needs (like dialysis), please take standard precautions for chlorinated water.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we maintain our community's water infrastructure.
