The Risks of Contaminants in Municipal Water

It is estimated that contaminated water and poor sanitation cause 30,000 deaths around the world every day

Domestic wastewater contains high quantities of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, traditional fertilizer compounds. It has been said that it takes the equivalent of 53 million barrels of oil – worth more than U.S. $1 billion – to replace nutrients yearly discarded in U.S. sewage with fossil fuel-based fertilizers.

Common contaminants include:

1. Bacteria and Viruses:

Pathogens in water can cause gastrointestinal diseases, flu-like symptoms, and other health issues.

2. Chemicals:

Industrial and agricultural runoff can introduce harmful chemicals into water sources, potentially causing long-term health problems.

3. Heavy Metals:

Water contaminated with heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury can have severe health consequences, especially in children.

4. Sediments and Particles:

Turbid water can clog pipes and reduce water quality, leading to various problems.

The 2019 classification of contaminants in drinking water by the EPA comprises 88 standards for microorganisms, chemicals, and radionuclides. There are currently six groups as follows:

Microorganisms, including Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, and Viruses (enteric)
Disinfectants, including Haloacetic acids, Chlorite, and Bromate
Disinfection byproducts, including Chloramines, Chlorine dioxide, and Chlorine
Inorganic chemicals, including Nitrate, Lead, Fluoride, Copper, Chromium, Cadmium, and Arsenic
Organic chemicals, including Dioxin, Vinyl Chloride, Carbofuran, Alachlor, Acrylamide, and Benzene
Radionuclides, including Radium 226 and Radium 228 Combined, Alpha Particles, Beta Particles, and Uranium

The Quality of GWI

GWI supplies water to the various communities through two main sources, namely; well water from ‘A’ and ‘B’ sand wells and surface water from rivers, creeks, springs and canals. These sources have inherent characteristics which require respective treatment and monitoring to address the following parameters: pH, turbidity, color, iron, aluminum, total coliforms and E. Coli etc.

GWI has 24 treatment plants which supplies water to 45% of its customers along the coast and 137 wells (and growing) from which water is distributed directly to the network without first passing through a treatment facility.

Only “7 out of the 24 plants (i.e. 29%) are fully compliant with the WHO drinking water guidelines”
“10 plants (41.7%) are non-compliant with iron”
“Surface water plants (Bartica, Shelterbelt, L.P.C, Mckenzie, West Watooka and Wisroc) are non-compliant with pH and Aluminium”
“Three (3) plants had fluctuating microbial quality”
4 pump stations “Amsterdam, Sharma, Noitgedacht and Eversham pump stations have presented contamination”
