CONSTRUCTION scale consist of :
• CLEAR : not detected in the intake crib in Lake Erie and in tap water
• WATCH : microsystin detected in the intake crib in Lake Erie but not detected in tap water
• CAUTION : microcystin detected in tap water , but test results do not indicate the need to issue an advisory ; additional testing and sampling underway and water treatment has been accelerated
• PRE-SCHOOL ADVISORY : do not drink for children five and younger .
• DO NOT DRINK ADVISORY : do not drink for all citizens
“ We have an advanced warning system for early detection with buoys and sondes that allows us to implement operational changes , prior to the microcystin reaching the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant ,” said Moore .
In addition , the drinking water advisory also revealed a lack of communication with interdepartmental agencies . Therefore , DPU has developed a text message and email system that links all regional community partners with instant communication .
DPU brought in industry experts , business community members and academia to brainstorm together . “ All the ideas and recommendations came out of the stakeholder group . This group will continue to play a vital role in restoring the public ’ s confidence in our water system ,” Moore concluded .
