The District currently is cosponsoring a study with the American Water Works Association Research Foundation. A draft executive summary has been prepared regarding the treatability of algal toxins in surface water that is used for drinking water. Samples taken for the study showed low levels of algal toxins. While technical in nature, the draft report concludes that water treatment processes are available, if needed, to effectively remove algal toxins from drinking water sources.
