Thanks for the heads up, Norah.

 

Great initiative!  It can serve as a strong beginning to improving the
reality and perception about drinking municipal tap water. 

 

I, too, am a fan of tap water and refillable containers.  I will become even
more of a fan once hydrofluorosilicic acid and its trace co-contaminants
arsenic, lead and mercury are no longer a problem in the City of Waterloo's
water; nor a problem in those outlying communities who also receive and
drink Waterloo's 'fluoridated' water without knowledge or consent.
Healthier is certainly always better.

 

The Region of Waterloo plans to spend $60,000.00 on a water truck they can
use for community events, that will connect into a fire hydrant or facility
water source and then people can drink tap water from this truck.  They also
plan to hand out refillable bottles.  The initiative is, in part, to promote
how healthy and safe municipally piped drinking water is supposed to be now.
A problem remains that such promotion is planned to run concurrently with
the water fluoridation debate, education and municipal ballot vote.  It is
possible that such promotion will be deemed inappropriate under the Ontario
Municipal Elections Act, because it interferes with a planned 'fluoridation'
question on the municipal ballot which, amoung other things, challenges the
health and safety of 'fluoridated' tap water.  The Ontario Municipal
Elections Act likely will require the Region to remain neutral and unbiased
once the planned ballot is passed under by-law (set to happen April 14,
2010).  I will certainly want to see such a 'neutral tap water stance' from
my Region during the campaign period for this ballot question.  Of course,
the Region could load the tanker with only un-fluoridated tap water whenever
filling up and dispensing.  Indeed, under the Ontario Fluoridation Act, they
may well be required to do so.  A nice placard indicating fluoride-free
water is being dispensed from this truck would also go a long way.

Please let your favourite stores and businesses know about this website and
encourage them to register. They will then be mailed a blueW decal for their
store window that will indicate that they support tap water by welcoming
people to come in for a refill.  It is a great program. Wellington Water
Watchers just kicked it off and you can see that we already have a lot of
local businesses on the map. Great for bikers and walkers.   Norah
