Busselton residents are set to deliver a petition to State Parliament this afternoon calling for an immediate end to water chlorination in the town.

Busselton's water supply has been chlorinated since April, despite community opposition.

The Busselton Water Board says the decision was made to protect against the microorganism Naegleria fowleri, following a recommendation from the WA Health Department.

Concerned residents will be met on the steps of Parliament today by South West MLC Adele Farina.
