Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion
Dr. Tom Ryan:
We will discuss the incident. This concerns critical infrastructure servicing hundreds of thousands of people and providing them with safe drinking water. It is completely unacceptable that issues at the plant could lead to a boil water notice. The resilience of the plant needs to be addressed. As we have recommended, there needs to be a full risk assessment at this plant. We will be making that point very strongly.
