Although there has been no connection between the Swine Flu and water quality, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) is taking advantage of the current attention surrounding public health to provide important information about drinking water and utility planning. From the press release:

“AWWA notes that the disease must be transmitted through person-to-person contact or contact with a contaminated surface. Water that has been treated through conventional disinfection processes does not pose a risk, even if the source water has previously come into contact with infected people or animals.”
