Abstract
Many circumstances led to the April 2001 cryptosporidiosis outbreak that affected 5,800 to 7,100 people in the region of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada. Among the factors implicated were a highly susceptible watershed, insufficient water treatment facilities, lack of adequate operator training and certification requirements, problems at an upstream wastewater plant, and inadequate and inconsistent governmental regulation, oversight, and enforcement. This excerpt from the “Report of the Commission of Inquiry into Matters Relating to the Safety of Public Drinking Water in the City of North Battleford, Saskatchewan” addresses the issues that were attributed to water treatment plant failure.
