Dan, there is no cause for alarm at this time, but we are starting to get official notices from chemical suppliers regarding the widespread shortages being faced across the country. We have no idea what the big picture drivers are, but we do know the situation with Chlorine has been made worse by a large scale plant failure with the HASA Manufacturing Facility in Vancouver who covers large portion of the Pacific Northwest’s demand. Water Treatment Plants will be given priority, and we have some backup ideas, so no need to worry. But it’s a situation we are keeping an eye on, and one a we feel you might like to know about! Let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,

Andy Peters
