San Antonio Express-News: Canyon Water Authority to Add Ammonia to Drinking Water
According to the San Antonio Express-News, the Canyon Regional Water Authority, which serves the Cibolo, TX area, plans to add small amounts of ammonia to solve the recent high levels of trihalomethanes ironically a byproduct of chlorine disinfection.
The high levels were detected in October, but because of an apparent mailing blunder at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the problem was brought to the city's attention only a few days ago. This did not sit well with Cibolo Mayor Charles Ruppert.
Water quality experts have said that the present state of the water does not pose an immediate health threat. Meanwhile, the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City School District has brought in bottle water for the students, while crews are installing water filters in the school cafeteria.
Water filters, the prudent, cost effective way to solve contamination problems.
