Abstract/Description or Keywords This study found water quality in the Wasa aquifer is generally within the normal and accepted range of ground water and available drinking water quality guidelines. However, the presence of total coliform bacteria in some samples may indicate that the aquifer is vulnerable to contamination from surface sources. Residents using the aquifer as a drinking water source should seek advice from the Kootenay Health Protection office of Interior Health for water treatment options.
