Is there anything I will notice during the conversion?

You may notice a slight chlorine taste and smell to water during this period. This is normal and poses no health risk. If you would like to minimize this odor, you could put a pitcher of water in the refrigerator until cold and then drink.

You may also see Oviedo Utility crews with fire hydrants open and water flowing. This is part of the water main flushing activities.
