The eradication of perchlorate contamination in Rialto will take several 
years, so efforts to draft a cleanup plan and secure backup water 
supplies are essential, city officials said.

During a meeting Tuesday, the Rialto City Council told about 50 
residents that their input on creating a cleanup plan is wanted.

...

Mayor Grace Vargas said she hopes the lawsuits will be settled in the 
near future, but in the meantime, the city will continue its 
zero-tolerance policy on perchlorate.

"We will not put any wells back into operation that are contaminated," 
Vargas said.
