Have health studies been done on chloramine for the symptoms people are reporting?
"In terms of the kinds of health
effects that people are complaining about, there really haven't been any studies to really address that issue in a statistically significant way," said

Do you know what's coming into the Grand Isle Consolidated Water District soon? In Feb., officials snuck through a ballot initiative to replace chlorine with chloramine (ammonia + chlorine) into your water supply. This is a disinfectant that is making people ill all over the country. There is still a chance to keep it out of your water, thanks to a new law that People Concerned About Chloramine, a citizens group in Chittenden County, helped get passed. You have the right to request a public hearing before a permit is issued for the use of chloramine in the Grand Isle Consolidated Water District. Don't miss this opportunity. We who have lived with chloramine can tell you the heartbreaking effect it has had on people exposed to it in Chittenden County and elsewhere. People have a right to safe water for all. Come to an informational meeting May 23, 2012, at 7pm, Grand Isle United Methodist Church, 12 Hyde Rd., Grand Isle.
