About Us

The Chloramine Info Center was brought about as a joint effort to provide imporatant information about the use of chloramines in drinking water systems to concerned citizens of Pennsylvania.

In early July 2007, The Pennsylvania American Water Company (PAWC) announced in a flyer mailed to customers that on August 12, 2007 they would be changing their water disinfection system, from clorine to chloramines. On July 26TH PAWC held two public meetings to explain the process and answer questions. Many concerned customers came to those meetings with research studies and questions as to the health concerns of this chemical compound. Customers questions were not answered to their satisfaction. after further research and the inability to engage in a respectful dialogue with any agency involved, many citizens stood together to collectively question the use of "chloramines" and the companies' reasoning for switching to them with such little advanced notice.

Over the past two months, citizens have tirelessly researched the many issues related to chloramine use as a disinfectant in drinking water. This is an informational site created by concerned citizens in an effort to provide the information you may not find on the EPA, DEP or PAWC sites. This is not an organization and no membership is required.

The contents of this site include peer reviewed scientific articles and studies. every statement made on this site has been verified by either a professor of environmental engineering, a professor of public health, a scientist on the study, a medical physician or other professional in the field of interest. We have provided sites to studies and websites with further information, however we do not have control over the acuracy of their content.
