Annually, our water supplier, the North Texas Municipal Water District, temporarily changes the way it disinfects our drinking water. The change will occur from Monday, March 6, through Sunday, April 3 to prepare the system for the heat and high demand of the spring and summer months.

Chlorine maintenance is a common practice throughout the nation. Garland Water Utilities responds to this process by flushing the main water lines throughout the city. This helps to quickly move the water through our system and helps offset any changes in taste and odor.

During this time, some customers may notice a stronger taste and smell of chlorine. It is important to note that the quality of our drinking water remains safe for all uses, including drinking.

Licensed Garland Water Utilities technicians take daily water samples from throughout the city to consistently ensure that our water is safe.
