Re: Convention get-together. (SF water quality FYI)

["Andrew Faust" <andrewfaust@alum.mit.edu>]

This is just an aside - i looked up the SF Public Utilities Commission's web
site - they have the latest water quality report published there (dated
April 1998). Also found in the articles on the page: chloramine will start
being used to treat the water here in approximately 2002.

main page:
http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/puc/wqr/5home.htm
table is found here:
http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/puc/wqr/5table.htm

Some selected data:
Nitrate (as NO3)        [ppm]             range = <0.4      average = <0.4
Nitrite (as N)             [ppm]             range = <0.05    average =
<0.05
Specific Conductance    [uS/cm]        range = 41-207    average = 124
Total Dissolved Solids    [ppm]         range = 18-120    average = 69
Alkalinity (as CaCO3)    [ppm]         range = 15-66    average = 41
Calcium                        [ppm]         range = <3-17    average = 9
Free Chlorine                [ppm]         range = 0.5-1.7    average = 1.2
Hardness (as CaCO3)    [ppm]         range = 14-66    average = 40
pH                                                range = 8.8-9.6    average
= 9.1

Just in case you were curious. Now you know more than you ever wanted to.
