Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
In the first week of May 2000, unseasonably heavy rain drenched the rural town of Walkerton, Canada. As the rainstorms passed, Walkerton’s residents began to fall ill in their hundreds. With ever more people developing gastroenteritis and bloody diarrhoea, the authorities tested the water supply. They discovered what the water company had been keeping quiet for days: the town’s drinking water was contaminated with a deadly strain of E. coli. It transpired that bosses at the water company had known for weeks that the chlorination system on one of the town’s wells was broken. During the rain, their negligence had meant that run-off from farmland had carried residues from manure straight into the water supply. A day after the contamination was revealed, three adults and a baby died from their illnesses. Over the next few weeks, three more people succumbed. In total, half of Walkerton’s 5,000-strong population were infected in just a couple of weeks.
