SABATTUS — Town officials alerted the public Tuesday that the water district received a positive coliform bacteria result during its routine monthly sample in December.
The bacteria is harmless, the alert noted, but used as an indicator.
“The water district will introduce a low dosage of chlorine to the distribution system as a precautionary measure,” according to the announcement sent out Tuesday. “You may experience a chlorine taste that will dissipate within a couple weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience but the water district strives for clean and safe water.”
