Numerous pilot studies have been conducted by Plainview's water authority to look at the best methods for removing 1,4-Dioxane from drinking water. The treatments would be installed at all contaminated wells in its service territory. "Funding through this bond allows the District to do what is necessary for the long-term protection of our community's water quality," the water district said. By Daniel Hampton, Patch Staff
