Gilley Says, “Gillece Can Help Allegheny And Other Local Counties With Chloramine-Treated Drinking Water.”
According to various water authorities, the way that Allegheny and Washington Counties’ water is being treated will begin changing for utility customers on March 19, 2012. Gillece understands that water in these regions will begin being treated by chloramine (and not chlorine) in order to comply with more stringent Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standards. Gillece knows that in theory, this is indeed a good idea as chlorine, which is currently being used to treat water, breaks down relatively quickly and reacts more frequently with other materials in water, producing unhealthy and unwanted disinfection byproducts. However, Gillece also knows that chloramine is a compound containing that both chlorine and ammonia – and even though it is much more stable than chlorine in terms of break down – you certainly do not want to be drinking and absorbing chemicals as a substitution for byproducts. Also, chloramine-treated water can actually be life-threatening to fish that are kept as pets.
Gillece advocates not substituting the “drinking of chemicals” for the “drinking of byproducts.” You don’t have to drink either – and there is something that you, a homeowner, can do.
