Some well sources produce water with dissolved air that remains pressurized in the distribution pipelines until reaching the consumer. When the water flows from the faucet, the air is released and may form tiny bubbles. After filling a glass, these bubbles will slowly rise and disappear. If your water remains cloudy or particles are found, please call us at 798-7698. The City of Redlands disinfects its water supply with chlorine.
Chlorine is a very effective disinfectant.
It also has the quality of remaining slightly detectable in the water if there are no micro-organisms for it to attack. This residual provides an excellent indicator to the technicians monitoring the distribution system. If a chlorine residual can be detected, we can be assured that no harmful micro-organisms are present. The immediate answer is no. However there is a naturally occurring, detected level of fluoride in Redlands drinking water.
