A number of #stateenvironmentalagencies are providing enforcement discretion and/or other flexibility amid the #COVID19 crisis. See various examples that @ECOS is compiling here: https://www.ecos.org/news-and-updates/states-exercise-enforcement-discretion-provide-other-flexibility-amid-covid-19/

No, you aren’t imagining it. If you thought your tap water had a bit of a swimming pool edge to it recently, you were right. To keep our pipes the cleanest, @dcwater annually switches out the chemical it uses to keep our water at its best. The switch will last 3/30 to 5/4. https://twitter.com/dcwater/status/1243505327846371329

Monday 3/30, our annual Chlorine Switch begins and will run through May 4. During that time, drinking water may taste slightly different, but the purification process remains the same, and the water is essentially unchanged. Click to learn more about this annual process.
