Reidsville announces April transition as regional water maintenance cycle ends

The City of Reidsville reported this week that the regional preventive water-quality maintenance cycle that began in December 2025 is ending, with participating utilities moving into the transition phase in early April.

City guidance states that beginning April 5, 2026, Reidsville will switch from chlorine back to chloramines over about five days, and the distribution system will be flushed during the week of April 6-10.

Officials said temporary taste, odor, discoloration, or pressure changes may occur during the transition and flushing windows, while emphasizing that both treatment modes remain safe for general household use.

For Reidsville and nearby Rockingham corridor residents, the main operational impact is timing: utilities are signaling when short-term water-system changes may be most noticeable so households and specialized users can prepare.
