Rialto has had a court battle with The Companies that they feel are involved in the contamination of the water Supply below the Water Table of Rialto. The Water Department has to install these huge Filtration Systems that are known as Reverse Osmosis Filtration System, where it uses Electrical power to Reverse the polarity of the water as it comes from the ground and that allows the filters to remove the Perchlorate from the Water, This is the best way that I can describe the situation in my most plan English, as good as I understand how the filters work??
Rialto City however, could have very well have avoided this whole situation by contacting the EPA first, and had them help through Grants in acquiring the filters needed to remove the contamination from the water that would make it safe to drink. However, since the Environmental Protection Agency was not contacted first, and the Rialto's City Lawyer was listened to, they went to Court!! Since the Can of worms has been opened, they cannot go back and break the egg that they broke, by the court event that they decided to go down. The $23Million so far that has been spent, I can gamble to say most of has been entered into the pockets of the Litigator with whom had the great Idea to go to court in the first Place, and that was Mr. Owen. The City Attorney. I am sorry I don't trust them at all especially after my court case with my Workers Compensation Case.
Now that the city is totally involved in this case they are on the streets begging for the city to Vote for an extension for another 8% tax on the utility taxes, all utilities!! My cellular phone was $150 for three phones, and now it is $199.00 for the same three phones. Great huh??
I just live in the sphere if influence of the City, and so because of that the Tax Applies to my address even when I live in the County, which Sucks!! Just another reason to move!! The bills go up because they have a high crime rate because of the actions of their city council, by letting all probationary Police Personnel go, at a time when they were trying to have the County be the Law Enforcement Protection, that move reduced the Police Department down just shy of 30 (THIRTY) Positions, Now that they have lost, there is still not an equal in experience Law Enforcement surrounding us that there was, the Crime Rate has shot way up.

Officials declared the emergency Tuesday in hopes of receiving state funding to help clean up a six-mile-long plume of perchlorate that's moving through the city's drinking water supply from industrial sites.
Perchlorate is a chemical used in rocket fuel and defense equipment manufacturing.
"A chronic local condition has evolved into an acute emergency," city administrator Henry Garcia wrote in the declaration ratified by the council.
Officials said a regional drought and recently imposed limits on water imported from Northern California also prompted them to declare the emergency.
Rialto is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
