I’m doing organic gardening and I’m worried about the treated water; how will this affect being organic?
We get calls from organic nurseries or organic gardeners and we recommend they use a different water source when the treated water is under restriction. Once the water-use restrictions are lifted, they can use the water again because the herbicide is no longer present. If you feel that using the water could cause future issues, we recommend you talk with your State Dept. of Agriculture or Natural Resource Conservation Service and contact the organic certification program representative.
