Since TCE is “volatile”, do IRWD customers risk exposure to TCE vapors while taking a shower?
No. IRWD’s drinking water has no detectable levels of TCE, so there is no risk of exposure to TCE “vapors” while taking a shower. Furthermore, pink scum that may be present in shower stalls is not linked to TCE; it is a type of bacteria (Seratia marcescens) that can be removed with a common household cleaning product.
