The novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, does not present a threat to the safety of Beverly Hills’ treated water supplies. First of all, COVID-19 is transmitted person-to-person, not through water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Secondly, Metropolitan’s advanced, multi-step treatment process includes filtration and disinfection using ozone and chlorine. This process removes and kills viruses, including coronaviruses, as well as bacteria and other pathogens.
