Not sure how aware the rest of the world is about
this, but here in Canada there have been some issues with people getting
sick or dying from bugs in the drinking water over the last couple of years.
Water treatment has been a municipal issue but now the feds and provinces
are getting more involved.
Some communities absolutely refuse to chlorinate
their water. I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of dose it would take to
kill the bugs in the water. Could that be achieved by putting some Cs-137 or
Co-60 next to a water pipe? Would it cause the pipe to fall apart? Any side
effects to the water?
I would just love to see someone propose that to
one of these communities:)
