CHLORAMINE CONVERSION A SUCCESS

In February 2004, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) successfully changed to chloramine disinfection of its water. Chloramine is more stable and lasts longer in water than chlorine, and helps the SFPUC meet current and future water quality regulations. Chloramine improves drinking water quality. For certain sensitive uses such as fish and amphibian tanks, kidney dialysis and industrial processes, chloraminated water must be treated before use. For more information, visit the SFPUC website at better.sfwater.org.

The SFPUC provides high quality drinking water to over 2.4 million residential and commercial customers in San Francisco, the Peninsula, South Bay and East Bay. With the conversion to chloramine, our customers will continue to receive the highest quality water, which meets or exceeds more stringent present and anticipated regulatory standards.
