Hillsborough disinfecting water

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Staff

On Tuesday, the Town of Hillsborough began disinfecting public drinking water with chlorine, which may result in a slight chlorine odor and taste.

The town typically uses chloramines for disinfection because they improve the taste, odor and quality of drinking water, but the state requires the town to use chlorine for disinfection one month every year.

Hillsborough will return to disinfecting water with chloramines in October.
