require water treatment facilities to use UV light to disinfect our water supply instead of chemical treatment.

It is scientifically proven that 85% of child sickness and 65% of adult diseases are produced by water borne viruses, bacteria and intestinal protozoa. Municipalities have most commonly used chlorine as the primary disinfectant to inactivate microbial pathogens. Although chlorine is an acceptable treatment, one side effect of residual chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organics in water that form disinfection byproducts(DBP) These by products, at high enough levels lead to increased health risks.Disinfecting our drinking water with UV light makes sense, It is environmentally safe, and it disinfects without the addition of chemicals and possesses the same benefits as distillation, it does not create new chemical complexes, it does not change the taste, nor remove any minerals.
