Is the water being delivered by Rose Valley Water Company chlorinated?
Yes. In October 2002, Rose Valley Water Company began maintaining a chlorine residual in its water at the farthest points of the distribution system. Maintaining a chlorine “residual” (i.e., a tiny, safe level of chlorine in the water) is proof that all bacteria have been removed from the water system because chlorine is consumed in the elimination of bacteria. On November 3, 2002, Rose Valley suspended operation of its wells and water system, and began working with the City of Peoria to complete the construction of two inter-connections to the City’s water system. Once the connections were completed, Rose Valley’s system was purified by super-chlorination. Rose Valley is currently delivering water that is being supplied from the City’s water treatment plant. The water supplied by the City is chlorinated by the City.
