"Several diseases are known to be water borne. Examp- les are gastroenteritis, ty- phoid. fever, shigellosis, infectious hepatitis, polio- melitis, etc.," the statement points out. } Sr. Public Health Inspect- or R.D. Nickol issued the following commentary on the situation: "On August 6, 1976, signs were posted warning citizens that the water of the Scugog River at McDonnell Park and Marina Park is unsafe for bathing. The decision to post signs was reached after 18 sampl- es of the water, in the two areas involved were tested for bacteriological quality. The Ministry of Health "Water Quality Guidelines for Bathing Beaches' states that if more than 1000 total coliforms per 100 mililitres and 100 faecal coliforms per 100 mililitres exist in bathing beach water then that water is to be considered possibly hazardous to the health of bathers. After calculating the geometric mean of the sample results, the average sample result exceeded by GOING OVERSEAS PASSPORT , Scugog polluted , many times the acceptable limits, Total coliforms and faecal coliforms are indicator bacteria. Their presence indicates pollution. If these bacteria are easily found in a water sample, there is rea- son to believe that pathogen- "ic (disease carrying) bac- teria are also present, The source of the pollution indicated by the presence of coliforms can be established by calculating the ratio be- . tween the number of faecal coliforms as compared to the number of faecal strepto- coccus organisms. When the ratio exceeds four it indicat- es the source: to be from human origin. The results of the samples taken generally exceeded four by consider- able amount. Routine sampling will con- tinue, however, there is no reason to expect a dramatic improvement this summer." A problem arose last Fri- day, when the Lindsay Parks Board began taking down signs warning the public of the hazard which had been posted on parkland without first being authorized by the parks board. Supt. Walter Miner said this was a neces- sary first step and in some instances permission would have been refused to allow posting of signs where it had been done without authoriza- tion. Councillor Rhys Williams said he felt Mr. Miner had over-reacted and that the signs should have been left where they had. been placed. The senior inspector for the health unit said it was unfortunate that the parks board had taken the attitude it had but that the health unit would see what it could do to safeguard the public.
