A review and analysis of existing Alberta data on drinking water quality and treatment facilities for the Northern River Basins Study / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 4401-C1...: R71-49/3-55E-PDF

"The primary purpose of this report is to gather existing data that will give direction to later studies of drinking water quality in the NRBS area. The information gathered is in the areas of existing water quality, facility inventories and standards and regulations. Analysis of existing data has indicated that generally drinking water quality meets all applicable guidelines and regulations. However a number of samples did exceed standards set out in "Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality" (GCDWQ). The parameter most often exceeded which may be of some health concern was turbidity. Turbidity on its own does not necessarily result in health concerns however it has been shown to be related to the effectiveness of the treatment facility in the removal of microbial contaminants and can also limit disinfection effectiveness"--Report summary.
