I am in Orange County CA. For the past 5 years there has been a horrendous problem with slab leaks caused by a water additive, causing thousands in plumbing and drywall repairs. I have first hand knowledge  that the water companies were taken to court and were found to be the cause (chloramine additives), but of course they are not financially responsible. The good news is they had to stop adding it. I have noticed our plants are thriving, and the air has a purer feel to it & a lot more moisture.   I haven't followed chem trails extensively, but the fires were odd and unnatural here in CA. I have lived here all my life.
