Beginning January 5, 2026, the City of Melbourne will switch to free chlorine for water disinfection until January 26. Residents may notice a chlorine taste or odor, but water remains safe for drinking and daily use. Kidney dialysis patients and owners of fish, amphibians, or reptiles should take steps to maintain water quality. More information is available at www.melbourneflorida.org or by calling 321-608-5700.
