Water Tank Sampling Results - Camberwell Village & Glennies Creek: 1-9 July 2008
Summary
Expert Advisory Committee commentary Amongst the 23 water tanks sampled in Camberwell and Glennies Creek during July 2008, exceedance of Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG) values occurred for aluminium in 6 water tanks and for iron in 3 water tanks. All 3 tanks with higher iron levels also had raised aluminium but only one tank (ACO12) had levels considerably higher than the aesthetic levels recommended in the ADWG. This sourced water from a creek in addition to rainwater. It is important to note that the levels measured exceeded the aesthetic guideline level but this is not a health concern level. Considerations regarding the aesthetic quality (taste, colour and odour) and cosmetic effects of water lead to aesthetic guideline levels.
