LEONA VALLEY WATER ISSUES
Your Water & Chloramines
Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency (AVEK) is planning on changing their water disinfectant process to Chloramines in early 2009. Some in the community are concerned over the use of this product and its impact. The Leona Valley Town Council is determining whether our community will be required to complete the switch to Chloramines or if we can pay to have an alternative method utilized in our town. We will also need to determine whether the community wants to use Chloramines or if the community is willing to pay extra to remove this product from our water supply.
For information on Chloramines go to:
