Coral Springs Improvement District Annual Water System Free Chlorine Maintenance 

Beginning on July 13th, 2026, and running through July 27th, 2026, the Coral Springs Improvement District will temporarily change our method of chlorinating our treated water to comply with recommendations from the Department of Environmental Protection.

As a result, within this two-week period, you may notice a chlorine taste or odor in your tap water. Watermain flushing will also take place during this period between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. A temporary discoloration of the water and a slight reduction in pressure because of Fire Hydrant flushing may also occur.

These temporary conditions should not be harmful to your health. However, customers are cautioned to determine if the water is clear before washing clothes (or any other processing) as staining may occur. Customers are also advised to set aside water for drinking and cooking purposes, and after flushing in your area to check the water clarity before use. If you experience discolored water, run the cold water in all your faucets for approximately 5-10 minutes. If conditions persist, please contact the District at 954-753-0380. Additionally, if you are on kidney dialysis, please consult your physician for any special instructions concerning this matter. If you have tropical fish or aquatic animals, please contact your local pet store for advice. Customers with inline filters may want to contact the equipment manufacturer for any precautions that may be required.

If you are especially sensitive to the taste and odor of chlorine, try keeping an open container of drinking water in your refrigerator. This will enable the chlorine to dissipate, thus reducing the chlorine taste. Remember, drinking water has a shelf life. Change out the water in your refrigerated container weekly.

The flushing program serves two important functions. First, it minimizes the build-up of mineral and other sediments, that over time can affect water quality and water flows through the pipes. Secondly, it allows the Water Department to verify the fire hydrants are working properly and available for fire protection.

We regret any inconvenience you may experience during this time, but this is necessary to maintain our high-quality water standards throughout our system. If you have any questions, please call us at 954-753-0380.

Coral Springs Improvement District Hosts Junior Achievement Students

On April 10, the Coral Springs Improvement District welcomed students from Broward County’s Junior Achievement program for a behind-the-scenes tour of its utility facilities. The visit introduced students to the many career opportunities available within the utility industry, including positions in water treatment, wastewater operations, field services, customer service, and billing. Employees shared insights into their daily responsibilities, career paths, and the qualifications needed to get started. CSID was proud to showcase the rewarding careers that help keep our community running and looks forward to inspiring the next generation of utility professionals.

Press Release UCF Grant Program of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services – 12/2/25

With assistance from the Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) grant program of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Coral Springs Improvement District completed the planting of 16 native Florida trees.

The $15,093.55 UFC grant allowed the District to engage a local contractor to remove invasive species and plant native Florida trees on a prominent, District-owned site. The plantings included four 12’ Oaks, four 8’-14’ Sable Palmettos, four 12’ Clusia trees, and four 12’ Green Buttonwoods. This project has strengthened the community’s urban tree canopy and has laid the foundation for future projects that will continue to enhance our environment.

The District is exceptionally grateful for the technical and financial assistance provided by the U.S. Forest Service, Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, and Florida Forest Service.

PFAS In the News

The District sampled for PFAS compounds during rounds 3 and 5 as we were required by the Environmental Protection Agency unregulated contaminant monitoring rule.

UCMR3 sampling was carried out in 2015 and UCMR5 was in 2023. During both events two sets of samples were collected several months apart.

The results for all 4 samples came back lower than the limit the EPA is proposing which is 4 parts per trillion. The District has been using reverse osmosis technology exclusively to treat our water for more than eight years.
