Information About Your Drinking Water

Our disinfection process uses chloramines (chlorine and ammonia). View more information (PDF), and answers to most frequently asked questions, and information for two groups of people who need to take special care with chloraminated water: kidney dialysis patients and persons who keep fish, aquatic or semi-aquatic life.
