Reidsville utility transition begins April 5 with Triad system flush set for April 6-10

The City of Reidsville posted on March 13, 2026 that the regional water-quality preventative maintenance program launched in December is ending, with a transition back to chloramines starting April 5, 2026.

City guidance says the switchover period may bring temporary taste or odor changes and that distribution-system flushing is scheduled during April 6-10, 2026, when some households may see discolored water or brief pressure reductions.

Reidsville utility officials said drinking water remains safe for normal use during the transition, while specialized users such as dialysis providers, aquatics operators, and certain industrial facilities should apply filtration or treatment adjustments.

For the Reidsville-Rockingham corridor, the near-term impact is an operations alert for residents and businesses to plan around short-lived water-condition changes during the week of system flushing.
