    Hey timias... Ozone, chlorine dioxide, even hypochlorite have been observed to produce bromate form bromide ion. So converting to an ozone system is not a good idea to prevent bromate formation in this water. The best solution is to have a covered reservoir for their finished water, like every other municipality in the country.
