Harvey, MI tap water

Disinfectant

Not confirmed

We couldn't confirm how utility water here is disinfected. US utilities use chlorine or chloramine, and chloramine doesn't gas off when water sits out. Private wells aren't treated by a utility, so there's no chlorine or chloramine unless a treatment system adds it.
