The annual report on water systems in Iowa shows there were no diseases or deaths caused by the water in the more than 18-hundred public water systems.  The Department of Natural Resources Diane Moles oversees the water section and says only 10 percent of the systems had violations last year. Moles says there was a change that took the discovery of choliform bacteria off the list of violations.

Moles says the rule change requires system operators to take action.

She says the biggest violations now involve not following through on the required processes.

The D-N-R’s statewide report gives them an overview of the issues in the various systems. You can see that report on the D-N-R website.
