The San Patricio Municipal Water District does use chlorine to disinfect our drinking water. Chlorine is used in municipal water treatment since 1908 and is the most effective way to ensure that water stays disinfected as it travels through water deliver systems. Chlorine prevents water-borne epidemics such as cholera, typhoid and hepatitis.
