Did you ever notice a chlorine smell? The majority of our large utilities chlorinate all their water on a voluntary basis. You may not like the smell,but your water probably came through miles of distribution pipes to get to your tap, and it needs the protection of chlorine to destroy all disease-causing organisms. Sometimes the water pressure falls due to a main line break or a fire hydrant being opened; your water utility wants to disinfect your water in case some contaminated water entered the distribution system. (Connecticut also requires any water company serving 20 thousand or more persons to add flouride to reduce dental cavities in our younger population.) • And,speaking of pressure,did you ever notice reduced water pressure in the early morning(6 to 8 a.m.) and early evening(6 to 8 p.m.)hours?This is when people �ft are getting ready for school or work or returning home, r and everybody is washing, doing dishes or whatever. ' � It may be a good idea not to start the dishwasher •r or clothes washer until after these peak times. To maintain water quality, your water utility ��.1 periodically flushes the water mains, usually in the spring and fall. This causes a lot of scouring of the F pipes'interiors and your water may become discolored for a short time. This is an inconvenience, but you should notice when the water clears that it is probably better than it was before the flushing because the pipes' utility and fellow water customers can make a good interiors are now a lot cleaner. water supply better. Each water utility has a representative who can assist you with any water- To ensure the clarity of your home water,you should related questions.For the best,first-hand information, flush your hot water tank where and when applicable, give them a call. and clean the screens on your faucets.

The reason the Board denied this appeal is due to the fact that they felt this request would more appropriately be addressed through a temporary and conditional permit from the South Windsor Planning &Zoning Commission.
