DECEMBER 22, 1956 PRICE 5- x Coniaminalion Danger From CilyWaierSupply Checked Prompt action on the part of the Sanitation Division of the Provinc- ial Department of Health and City of Charlottetown officials has re- m..ed any danger from contam- ination of the general city water supply, it was announced jointly last night by Dr. O.H. Curtis, chief provincial health officer and Dr. W.L. MacDonald. City Health Of- ficer. The report wds released fol- lowing a me'etlng of the Charlotte- town. Water Commissioners. the City Health Officer and Provincial Public Health Officials. However. one small localized area of the city is still showing positive contamination. Residents in this area have been notified and issued chlorine kits as a tem- porary measure to control the sit- uation until the source is found and eliminated. CIIDORINE CONTENT several days ago. the Sanitation Division. under H. Giles Cantwell. Senior Sanitary Inspector. discov- ered slight. general contamination throughout the city in their rout- ine sampling proceedure- City of- ficials were immediately notified and an investigation disclosed that the chlorine content in the water supply at each of the three stations pumping water into the city, was lower than the 0.1 part per recommended by Pub- lic Health Authorities. The amount of chlorine was lrnmediately rais- ed to the specified standard and further samples taken throughout the city proved to be all negative except for the one. localized area. The results point out the neces- sity of proper and adequate ch- lorination of municipal water sup- plies to counteract contamination and prevent the possible spread of disease. WORKING FULL TIME At the present time the sanita- tion division and the city officials are working full time to try to de- termine the cause of the high bac- teris counts present in the one. localized area still showing con- tamination in the city. Subsequent reports will be released as soon as the cause is known and elimin5st- ed. The health officers pointed out emphatically that there is no con- nection whatever between the con- dition of the water supply and any reported outbreak of skin disease in the city. The sanitation division of the Department of Health mutlnely takes samples of the city water supply as part of their environ- mental , sanitation program. Dr. Curtis, Dr. MacDonald, and the Water Commissioners all com- mended the prompt action taken by the Sanitation Division in the detection of the contamination. CONFIRMATION NEEDED The official report was witheld until the present time pending coa- firmation of the contamination by the Division of Laboratories of the Provincial Department of Health. A period of in to 72 hours is necess- ary between sampling and final reading. The laboratory staff has undertaken the examination of ex- tra samples of city water until all evidence of contamination has dis appeared. Other than those citizens who have been notified and been issued with chlorine kits. the people ol Charlottetown need not worry un duly about the situation and they may rest assured that every pos- sible precaution is being taken ts maintain a safe water supply Dr. Curtis and Dr. MacDonald conclud- ed.
