Conformément à l’article 5 de l’Ordonnance fédérale sur l’eau potable et l’eau des installations de baignade et de douche accessibles au public (OPBD, RS 817.022.11) et en qualité de distributeur d’eau, nous sommes tenus d’informer les consommateurs au moins une fois par année au sujet de la qualité de l’eau potable. Provenance L’eau alimentant le réseau communal provient de sources et du lac Léman. En cas d’interruption ou besoin, la redondance est assurée via les réseaux voisins. Traitement L’eau des sources est contrôlée par des turbidimètres et désinfectée par ultraviolet. L’eau du lac Léman est pompée puis subit une filtration à sable, à charbon actif et une désinfection par ultraviolet. Contrôles sanitaires Le suivi de la qualité de l’eau potable distribuée comporte 105 prélèvements par année effectués par notre service. Bactériologie Aucun dépassement des valeurs maximales n’a été observé concernant les analyses microbiologiques. Paramètres physico-chimiques (ressortant de l’analyse complète dans le réseau de distribution) La valeur d’un des métabolites du fongicide chlorothalonil est proche de la valeur maximale admise de 0,1 µg/l. Le SIDERE va surveiller dans le cadre de son autocontrôle l’évolution de cette valeur et étudier les solutions applicables/potentielles qu’il y aurait en cas d’éventuel dépassement.

    Commune de Prangins Municipalité Préavis No 17/12 au Conseil Communal Demande d’approbation de la modification des statuts de l’association à buts multiples des communes du district de Nyon et demande d’adhésion à la nouvelle Organisation Régionale de Protection Civile du district de Nyon (ORPC) Violeta Seematter, Municipale responsable Monsieur le Président, Mesdames, Messieurs les Conseillers communaux, 1- Préambule Le projet de réorganisation de la protection civile vaudoise a débuté en 2007 sous la dénomination "projet Agile". Bien que ce projet soit actuellement gelé par la Cheffe du Département, les régions ont été encouragées à se conformer au nouveau découpage des districts. Les actuelles 21 régions de protection civile seront ainsi ramenées à 10 correspondant géographiquement aux districts. Dans le principe, les organisations régionales ne subissent qu’un changement dans leur périmètre d’action puisqu’il s’agit de ramener les différentes organisations selon le nouveau découpage des districts (DECTER). Chaque région disposera d’une personnalité juridique. La direction du projet préconise de conserver la structure actuelle, composée d’un Conseil intercommunal comme organe délibérant et d’un Comité directeur en tant qu’organe d’exécution. Chaque organisation régionale est dirigée par un Commandant qui dispose d’un état-major et d’un secrétariat. Il est responsable de toutes les mesures de protection civile applicables à sa région et en informe son Comité directeur. Dans le cadre légal défini par les autorités cantonales, la région détermine ses infrastructures administratives et logistiques. Ainsi, pour notre district, il s’agit de valider la venue de quinze nouvelles communes dans notre organisation.
