Beginning on Monday, April 6, the City of Greensboro will end its routine Temporary Free-Chlorine Conversion Program, a preventative maintenance program that optimizes the water quality in the City’s drinking water distribution system. During this time, the City will resume its use of chloramines as its standard federal and state-approved drinking water disinfectant. Both chlorinated and chloraminated water are safe for drinking, cooking, and other intended uses. The switch, in conjunction with surrounding water utilities, will take about five days.

The City periodically performs water quality preventive maintenance to maintain and optimize the distribution system's water quality. These programs involve planned flushing or swabbing, or a switch from chloramines to chlorine, which stabilizes water quality. The water continues to meet federal and state standards for drinking water and is safe for consumption and use during these programs.
