Time taken for first arriving apparatus to arrive on the scene of an emergency. Does not include non-emergent calls.

Cryptosporidium is a pathogen that may cause a short-term respiratory and/or gastrointestinal illness. Although highly resistant to chlorine treatment, direct filtration techniques are sufficient for cryptosporidium removal. Giardia is another pathogen that may result in a variety of unpleasant stomach and/or intestinal illnesses. Direct filtration techniques of a water treatment plant are effective in Giardia's removal as well. In the case of an outbreak of either pathogen, boil water advisories are issued and effectively eliminate their threat to human health. This intitial 2-year testing schedule was required as part of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2), which became part of the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2007.

Responses from the 2021 open participation (non-probability) survey.

In the dataset, you will find the respondent level data in each row with the questions in each column. The numbers represent a scale option from the survey, such as 1=Excellent, 2=Good, 3=Fair, 4=Poor. The question stem, response option, and scale information for each field can be found in the var "variable labels" and "value labels" sheets.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The open participation survey data were weighted, meaning that the demographic profile of respondents was compared to the demographic profile of adults in Bloomington from US Census data. Statistical adjustments were made to bring the respondent profile into balance with the population profile. This means that some records were given more "weight" and some records were given less weight. The weights that were applied are found in the field "wt". If you do not apply these weights, you will not obtain the same results as can be found in the report delivered to the Bloomington. The easiest way to replicate these results is likely to create pivot tables, and use the sum of the "wt" field rather than a count of responses.
