The District's local groundwater supply is known for its good taste and high quality. To ensure that the District continues to provide safe, clean water to meet the needs of our customers, we started a chlorination program in November 1999.
Chlorine is a disinfectant that destroys disease-causing organisms.
Most water agencies currently use chlorine, and we believe that this is a sensible precaution to protect our water supply. Customers who find the taste or odor of chlorine unpleasant can remove it by installing an inexpensive granular activated carbon filter, available at most home-improvement stores.
