It has been about a week now that we have had to boil drinking water. Although the water from the taps in my house doesn't look muddy, it's rather unclear in most parts of the city, and no amount of boiling can fix that. I have three proposals for this situation:
- The storms are caused by warm wet tropical fronts from Hawaii (pineapple express) hitting the cold mountains in Canada. Since they are sending us the rain, how about they send us some Hawaii tickets to get away from it for a tad? Or at least some of the sunshine they get?
- If the GVRD is not going to improve the drinking water filtration they should at least buy some new machinery that can measure the current turbidity - apparently on Thursday the turbidity was more than 100 times the usual amount and the devices couldn't measure it! I guess because the people who designed it never thought anyone would think of drinking such muddy water, well, another design defect!
- If the GVRD has monetary problems, how about asking the charities who collect money for wells in Africa so that people can have drinking water to donate some?
