Below is supplementary information to the National Food Administration's advertisement published in Mora Tidning Friday 17 Jan 2014 The advertisement and the article in MT Monday 20 Jan The article For the next two years, the National Food Administration will carry out a study on drinking water distribution and health in collaboration with several municipalities across the country, including Nodava's three owner municipalities Mora, Orsa and Älvdalen. The study examines whether various events or problems on the drinking water pipe network can affect the health of drinking water consumers and which circumstances can lead to the greatest risk, something about which there is not much knowledge today. Sweden has approximately 70,700 km of municipal drinking water pipes of varying age, size and material. Sometimes drinking water pipes or devices on the pipe network break and every year thousands of leaks and other events occur on Sweden's drinking water pipes. In connection with these, there can sometimes be a risk that disease-causing microorganisms reach the drinking water and consumers can become ill with, for example, stomach illness. The goal of the National Food Administration's project H 2 O Distribution is to increase knowledge about incidents on the drinking water pipeline network and consumer health, to support the country's drinking water producers in their activities for safe drinking water. H 2 O Distribution is part of a larger project on microbiological drinking water risks, where several other studies on drinking water and health are carried out in various places in Sweden. How will the study go and what do I need to know if I am contacted? När det uppstår en händelse på ledningsnätet, exempelvis ett rörbrott, kommer mellan 40-200 hushåll i kommunen att kontaktas av undersökningsföretaget Ipsos. Händelserna som följs upp är vanliga i hela landet och anledningen att dessa händelser följs upp är att vi vill undersöka om de medför att folk blir sjuka och hur i så fall hur stor risken är att bli sjuk. Du som blir uppringd för en intervju kan antingen bo i ett område som kan ha påverkats av händelsen, exempelvis av tryckfall, men kan även bo i ett område som inte påverkats, ett så kallat referensområde. Båda områdena kommer att få samma frågor under intervjun. Intervjun kommer att vara kort och bestå av frågor om dricksvattenkonsumtion, hälsa och hushållets vanor. Cirka 10-30 händelser kommer att följas upp i respektive kommun under studiens tvååriga period.
