ANNUAL CHANGE FROM CHLORAMINES TO CHLORINE
Every summer, Brunswick County and the towns, cities, and other utilities that purchase water from Brunswick County implement an annual flushing program. Public Utilities employees will flush the water mains by opening fire hydrants and allowing them to flow freely for a short period of time. The flushing cleans out sediment and allows routine maintenance of the more than 5,000 fire hydrants in the Brunswick County service area. Flushing may result in some discoloration and the presence of sediment in your water. These conditions are not harmful and should be of short duration.
During this period of time, a slight change is made in the water treatment process to facilitate an effective flushing program. Throughout the year, chloramines, or combined chlorine, is added to the water as the primary disinfectant. During the summer flushing program, chlorine is added in an uncombined state, commonly referred to as free chlorine. Free chlorine is somewhat more volatile than combined chlorine, providing exceptional availability to react with sediments suspended during flushing. Brunswick County will use free chlorine as the primary disinfectant from June 24, 2013, through mid August 2013. Depending on your location within the distribution system and usage patterns, it could take up to a week for your drinking water to transition from combined chlorine to free chlorine at the beginning of the flushing program. The annual change from chloramines to chlorine for this brief period is required by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
You may notice a chlorine taste and odor in your drinking water while free chlorine is utilized. 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.
Please note, if you have an aquarium or pond always test the water you add to your aquatic environment to be sure it is free of any chlorine before adding fish or other animals. Chemical additives with directions for removing either free chlorine or chloramines from water for use in fish tanks or ponds are available at pet/fish supply stores.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process please contact the County’s Public Utilities Department at 253-2657 or 371-3490 or 454-0512 or your local water provider. read more...

We hope you will join us over the next few weeks and check out our new program and menus as they evolve. The reason I say as they evolve, is that due to time restrains, not all of our equipment is in and or installed. With that being said, we do have enough of the equipment and programs ready to roll to get started with what we believe will make everyone happy.
Our new Management Team is as follows…
- Lyn Rader is our on-site General Manager

Trinity has put together a menu of a wide variety of offerings. All menu items will be of high quality and presented in an appealing way. You will be able to come to the dining room and relax while enjoying your meal or take it to go. The picnic tables outside will be maintained, kept clean, and will have umbrellas for shade. We will have grab and go items available so if you are in a hurry you can get in and out very quickly. Breakfast will also be a new addition to the program. We will have a variety of breakfast items available. We realize that time is an issue for breakfast. We will have items that are fresh made but with a very quick grab-and-go style of service.
The following is a list of menu items that we plan to offer daily. This menu can evolve based on things that you would like to see going forward. Please feel free to talk to Lyn Rader and Melissa Taylor at any time. Give them feedback and make suggestions. We will listen, you are the customer and we want to have a program offering items that will satisfy everyone.

These will be moderately priced and can be dine in or take out.
- A wide variety of popular deserts that will include some Fresh Baked Items, Cakes, Pies, Home Made Cookies and more.
- Grab-and-go items will also be available. Pre-made Sandwiches and Salads and then we have those fresh baked cookies again.
I could go on, but the fact is we plan to listen to your comments and build a program that will have every one talking.
