Walkerton E. coli outbreak (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

La tragédie de Walkerton est une épidémie d'E. coli causée par l'eau contaminée à Walkerton, Ontario, au Canada, qui a causé plusieurs morts et maladies en mai 2000. (fr)
The Walkerton E. coli outbreak was the result of a contamination of the drinking water supply of Walkerton, Ontario, Canada, with E. coli and Campylobacter jejuni bacteria. The water supply was contaminated as a result of improper water treatment following heavy rainfall in late April and early May 2000, that had drawn bacteria from the manure of nearby cattle used to fertilize crops into the shallow aquifer of a nearby well. The first reported case was on May 17. The contamination caused gastroenteritis and sickened more than 2,000 people and resulted in six deaths. Subsequently, Associate Chief Justice of Ontario, Dennis O'Connor launched an inquiry into the outbreak, called the Walkerton Inquiry. Walkerton Public Utilities Commission operators Stan and Frank Koebel, neither of whom had any formal training, were sentenced on December 20, 2004, after pleading guilty to charges of common nuisance stemming from the contamination—Stan to one year in jail, and Frank to nine months house arrest. As a result, stricter water treatment guidelines were put in place by the government. (en)

Stan Koebel: We had a fair bit of construction and there is some concern – I'm not sure, we're not finding anything ... but I am doing this [flushing and chlorinating] as a precaution ... (en)
Stan Koebel: We've had the odd one, you know, we're in the process of changing companies, because the other company, it closed the doors, so we are going through some pains right now to get it going. (en)
