Answer: EPA and
the Centers for
|
|
|
Disease Control
issued a joint policy
|
|
|
statement that
bringing water to a
|
|
|
rolling boil for
1 minute will kill all
|
|
|
known waterborne
pathogens,
|
|
|
including Giardia
and Cryptosporidium.
|
|
Note: If you live
at high altitudes
|
|
|
(above 6,000
feet), you should boil
|
|
water for 3
minutes because water
|
|
|
boils at a lower
temperature at high
|
|
|
elevations.
