The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which supplies the City of Hayward water supply, disinfects drinking water with chloramine.
Chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia that is considered a better disinfectant than chlorine alone. Many Bay Area communities also use chloramines to disinfect their water supply.
Most people are not affected by chloramine. However, certain customers need to take special precautions, specifically:
- Dialysis patients and providers;
- Businesses using highly processed water;
- Owners of fish and amphibians.
For more information, please call Utilities Administration at 510-583-4723
