Focus on OPTIONS AND OPERATIONS OF WATER TREATMENT
SYSTEMS IN SMALL NORTHERN COMMUNITIES -
Presentation by Ken Johnson, M.A.Sc., MCIP, P.Eng.
Significant
resources have been applied to water supply in small northern communities over
the past 20 years in order to provide all communities with a safe and reliable
source of drinking water. New demands
for water supply improvements are emerging as a result of the water quality
catastrophes of Walkerton and other communities, as a result of more stringent
water treatment regulations, and as a result of decades old systems approaching the
end of their design life. Unfortunately
the financial resources cannot keep up with the demands, and the Territorial
Governments must very carefully review the options and operations of small
water systems in order to provide the most appropriate technology for each
community.
