Water change

Are chloramines safe for plants?

The water company in my area changed the way it will be filtering our water. They are going from chlorine to chloramines. How will this affect my plants?

There will be no affect on the plants according to all published reports. You will be able to use the water the same way you did previously and there will be negligible reaction with fertilizers.
