Pomona officials deny atrazine taint in drinking water
Pomona city officials deny Environmental Working Group claims that area water supplies show atrazine contamination. Councilman Richard Adler notes Pomona had 800 dollar tests on 105 pesticides last quarter of 1993 with no measurable atrazine detected, earning 1994 and 1995 testing exemptions. EWG cited nearby towns and districts with higher levels, while Ottawa and Pomona authorities warn conventional treatment can be insufficient but other methods like settling basins help control pesticides.
