The SCA continue to investigate potential sources<br />

of Cryptosporidium in the Upper Canal. Also the<br />

results of the routine raw and treated water<br />

samples are being reviewed in consultation with<br />

<strong>Sydney</strong> <strong>Water</strong> and <strong>NSW</strong> Health.<br />

The Upper Canal at Prospect is analysed<br />

separately in response to either Cryptosporidium<br />

and/or Giardia detections in the Prospect raw<br />

water composite sample of the same date.<br />
