Description
Tampa residents may soon notice a slight change in the smell and taste of their water as temporary changes are coming to the city's disinfection process, the Tampa Water Department announced Wednesday.
Officials say this is part of routine maintenance to preserve the city's water quality and assure that it will continue to meet all state and federal standards during this process.
The department says it is using chlorine instead of monochloramine for its treatment process, which may cause a change in the water's smell and taste.
