Drinking water disinfection helps safeguard our health. This protection includes "residual" disinfection, to ensure continuing quality as water makes its way through the pipes to reach your tap.

There are many ways to provide disinfection. LVMWD, like many other water suppliers across the nation, uses chloramines to meet federal and state drinking water standards. Safe for humans, the residuals of chloramines can be harmful to fish and must be removed from tap water before it's added to a pond or aquarium. Water conditioners specifically designed for removing chloramines can be purchased at pet and fish stores where experts can provide instructions and recommendations.
