Abstract:
On 20 November 1989 NRA South West Region received a report from South West Water Pic that high levels of aluminium had entered the distribution system of Lowermoor Water Treatment Works. As a result of this information an investigation was undertaken to determine if sewage treatment works in the Lowermoor distribution area were discharging high levels of aluminium and to establish any consequent effects on receiving water quality. Ten works were examined on 21 November 1989. One works was used as a control site. This works was outside the Lowermoor distribution system. None of the sewage treatment works monitored was found to have significantly elevated levels of aluminium in their discharge.
