November 17, 2025 – Infrastructure Services is notifying residents that the lime system is down at the Water Treatment Plant for scheduled maintenance.
Maintenance to the lime system could affect the hardness of the water, as a result, customers could receive water which is harder than you usually receive. This does not effect the quality of the water, the water is safe for consumption.

What This Could Mean for You
Hard water may cause:
• Spots on glasses, dishes, and fixtures.
• A chalky buildup known as limescale in water-heating appliances, kettles, and pipes over time.

Tips to Minimize Effects
• Dishware: Hand wash dishes or towel-dry them immediately after the dishwasher rinse cycle to reduce spotting.
• Existing Spots: Soak glasses or other items with spots in white vinegar for 5 to 10 minutes to remove buildup.
• Appliances: Consider descaling kettles or other appliances using a white vinegar solution.
