LOCALS CAROL ADAMS and Carol Yaeger stop for a picture as they help out with the Baked Potato booth that is always a big draw during the annual Big E Fair in Springfield, Mass.
His report will cover four components: Delineation and Characterization, Potential Contaminant Sources, Current Use Analysis and Management Plan, and a Contingency Plan.
In the last year, there have been 20 outbreaks in 11 states. Some were from a public water supply, some from source water, some from other causes.
It is much safer for the public health as well as being more cost-effective to protect the water source that is already in place than to have to replace a system that has been contaminated.
