Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
313   Inadequate treatment
Observation: - Disinfection of shallow well (surface water source) currently includes chlorination only. Chlorination is not effective against protozoa such as Giardia or cryptosporidium spp. Current disinfection does not meet provincial 4-3-2-1-0 Guidelines (attached).
Corrective Action: Please make plans towards installing adequate treatment to meet provincial 4-3-2-1-0 Guidelines. A construction permit must be obtained before installation can proceed. A water user must be advised that water must be boiled or further treated to ensure potability. The Dungate water users community may consider a centralized form of treatment or a decentralized (Point of Use or Point of Entry) style of treatment. Please call me to discuss further.
318   Inadequate Microbiological Analysis data
Observation: Water samples for bacteriological analysis have not been submitted/reported at the frequency required. A minimum of one sample per month must be submitted. One sample has been submitted in 2014 to date.
Corrective Action: Ensure at least one sample is submitted each month.
319   Inadequate Chemical Analysis Data
Observation: It has been more than 5 years since the last water chemistry results have been received. Testing and reporting of water chemistry must be completed at least once every 5 years according to your permit.
Corrective Action: Please arrange to have your water tested for chemical parameters. Forward results to the undersigned. Please contact me if you have any questions.
