Comments:
Met with operator, Chris Crawford, at the main office to discuss the water system. The water system consists of a 5 micron filter --> UV --> Sock Filter --> Heavy Metal (Metsorb) --> water softener --> Chlorination --> mixing Chlorine residuals are monitored and recorded daily Only 6 samples submitted in 2018 on 3 separate occasions - this must be improved. Things required from VCH: 1. An updated emergency response and contingency plan as there were recent staff changes within VCH. A template will be emailed to the operator. 2. An annual report completed by June 2019. A template will be emailed to the operator. 3. A full chemical analysis on the well water to be conducted in 2019. 4. For Lafarge to come up with a way to increase sampling frequency for 2019. Suggestions have been made to get in touch with other Texada water operators who are bringing samples over already.
