Chlorination

Your district office is often asked why we are adding chlorine to our water supply. Chlorination is mandated by the Nassau County Health Department to insure that all water supplies are protected from their source to your residence. This protection is utilized by the majority of water suppliers throughout the United States.

The Roslyn Water District carefully controls and monitors the level of chlorine introduced to the water supply but on occasion, you may detect a slight chlorine odor. This is usually found when a faucet has not been used for several hours (ie: overnight). Simply let the water run for a minute or two and the detected odor should dissipate.
