So how did the concentration of chloramine in the water increase? Did the city continue to pump in a fixed volume, not taking account of greatly reduced outflows? Where will the water come from to dilipute the reservoir? Could they have gotten an exemption from the regs? Was chloramine at dangerous levels? Or at a level where a rat would have to take in 5 gallons per day instead of 10 to maybe get sick? We aren’t getting the full story.
Does this mean I can quit having the dog do the dinner dishes now?
When I paid our water bill this month I looked at last years usage vs this years. We cut our water usage by 41 percent. At first our water company was supposed to surcharge anyone using over last years amount per month. Then hubby tells me no, they changed it. Now they are putting everyone on a monthly ‘budget’. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Too bad they don’t inject the chloramine into it in some type of holding tanks instead of nuking the whole reservoir with it.
I guess the water evaporated and concentrations increased.
What a waste.
