Full Description

This brief paper describes the role of the Drinking Water Inspectorate of London, England, United Kingdom in relation to detection and treatment of Cryptosporidium. The Inspectorate is charged to assess the acceptability of proposals to treat water for Cryptosporidium. National regulations dictate that most surface waters in England and Wales receive disinfection plus either two stage chemical treatment or slow sand filtration. However, the Inspectorate will not support additional treatment when oocysts are detected in raw water unless the existing conventional treatment is inadequate. Where the Inspectorate has declined to support proposals for additional treatment, the company is free to ask for reconsideration of their case if more compelling evidence becomes available.
