RE: water quality at migrant camps

[Guest guest]

Colorado migrant health programs have done extensive testing on over 400

migrant drinking water supplies. We know have a program that partners with

several different agencies to address the bacterial and chemical

contamination.

We try and include it into outreach activities.

Most of the problems have been found to be nitrates, lead and e-coli. Not

many pesticides have been found. However, we have found migrant housing

sites around super-fund sites that have several chemicals that cause

problems.

If you want more data please contact me.

I recall years ago CATA (the farmworker group based in New Jersey)

doing a study on well contamination.
