Drinking Water and Health - presentation by Interior Health

http://www.rdno.ca/docs/IHA_Drinking_Water_Health_PPT.pdf

This 10 page slide show presentation 'Released from In Camera at the June 17, 2015 BoD Meeting'
can be viewed at link above.

Of particular Note is the slide on Page 5 of this presentation.  It shows the statistical effect results of both a turbidity option as well as a filtration option on the weekly incidents of reported cases for Intestinal Infectious Diseases in Kamloops in the 1997(Jan) -2007  (July)  Period. There are no such studies for our local area or GVW water system and this one serves as an illustration on the possible reductions of cases for filtration. It appears that in this case of an added Filtration system the # of cases per 10,000 would be reduced from 5.09 to 4.60 (a 10% decline).  These stats may or may not be representative of what added filtration at Duteau PLant or MIssion Hill Plant could accomplish.
