Walkerton E coli inquiry scrutinizes health officer actions
Lawyer for Walkerton mayor argues the source of the E coli outbreak should have been obvious to the medical officer of health. The inquiry hears Dr. Murray McQuigge may have acted more quickly, despite praise for issuing a boil water advisory. McQuigge knew earlier reports showed E coli in Walkerton water and that tests showed lack of proper chlorination. He also oversaw investigations into a June 1998 daycare illness and faced prior warnings of environmental noncompliance. The inquiry notes the advisory was issued May 21 after days of searching for the outbreak source.
