Harmony area: Conclusion of temporary treatment change

Beginning Friday, August 30, 2024, Toho Water Authority (Toho) will return to using chloramines as the disinfectant used in your public water system. This process takes approximately 5 to 7 days concluding the routine maintenance of using free chlorine as a disinfectant in the distribution system. The documents section on this page includes the notice mailed to customers.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires water utilities to notify customers whenever we make changes in disinfection processes. The area water treatment facility has used free chlorine as a temporary treatment for your water in the past. This periodic maintenance procedure is a standard practice used nationwide to enhance water quality.
