Helping to Improve Drinking Water
Mainstream Water Solutions Inc., a local water treatment company, is carrying out a project to enhance the quality of drinking water in Saskatchewan communities. Working in collaboration with the University of Regina, Communities of Tomorrow (CT), and the National Research Council of Canada, Mainstream is developing a method to remove arsenic from municipal drinking water. |
Recent changes in the Saskatchewan Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality decreased the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) for arsenic from 25 to 10 parts per billion. At least 20 communities in the province have a drinking water supply that slightly exceeds the MAC for arsenic.
