The City of Pembroke Pines will be performing a chlorination preventive maintenance procedure on our Water Distribution System. The procedure will run for two (2) weeks from March 25, 2024 until April 7, 2024. During this period, the City’s Drinking Water Distribution System will continue to meet ALL Federal and State water quality standards. Some residents may notice a slight chlorine taste and/or chlorine odor in the water. Residents on kidney dialysis or those who have other medical conditions should contact their health care providers for more information about increased chlorine levels in their drinking water during this time frame. Fish owners should also take necessary precautions during this procedure.

Additionally, you may see water being flushed from fire hydrants in your neighborhood. This is a part of the normal maintenance process. If you have questions, please call the Utilities Customer Service Department at 954-518-9000 or visit Utilities at www.ppines.com for information and updates.
