| Current Hazard Rating: | Low |
This facility is currently under a Water Quality Advisory
 Underlying Problems: Chemical sampling history shows consistent manganese concentrations above the MAC in 5 of the 6 wells. Manganese has long been considered an aesthetic concern in drinking water (e.g. causing stains on laundry, plumbing fixtures, etc.). However, new scientific studies show potential health effects from long term exposure to high levels of manganese in drinking water. This new information was used to revise the guideline for manganese in drinking water. | |
| Steps Taken to Remedy: Information packages containing information on manganese in drinking water have been distributed by the operator to the residents. | |
| Corrective Actions Remaining: 1. Distribute updated notice and information to residents
2. Continue additional sampling to determine the level of manganese in the distribution system. Collect samples from multiple points throughout the distribution system and submit to an accredited lab for manganese testing. Provide sample results to Northern Health.
3. Continue talks with a qualified drinking water professional to assess the water source and propose a suitable treatment system to reduce the level of manganese to below the Maximum Acceptable Concentration.
4. Submit the treatment proposal to Northern Health in the form of a Construction Permit application.
5. Upon receipt of approval from a Northern Health Public Health Engineer, in the form of a Construction Permit, install the approved treatment system.
6. Conduct post-treatment samples in accordance with the conditions of the Construction Permit to verify treatment efficacy. |
