Hazard Water Clean-up and Removal

                                                                 Residual Flood Water Removal

                                                                                  After the water resides, the clean-up will begin.  However, this is when addition hazards can arise. 

Small pockets of stagnant water; becoming home to insects and providing a breeding habitat for West Nile Virus disease.   In fact, the mosquito species that carries the West Nile Virus prefers small, protected pools of stagnant water as breeding habitat. This increases the risk of encephalitis, West Nile Virus or other mosquito-borne diseases. Floodwaters also may be contaminated by agricultural or industrial chemicals or by hazardous agents present at flooded hazardous waste sites.

Bacteria Thrive Under Certain Conditions

These conditions include warm stagnant water with temperatures between 68° and 122°F. Ideal growth occurs at temperatures of 77°-108°F (25°-42°C) and a pH between 5.0 and 8.5. Sediment from rust (iron), and scale in water systems can also promote growth. Algae and other micro-organisms can provide habitat and nutrients for the protozoa and bacteria that promote legionella growth. Identification of possible locations where these conditions exist is essential to controlling sources of this disease.
