URGENT: FERGUS & ELORA WATER USERS

Your tap water (especially Fergus) is NOT safe! Woolwich Township residents if you have any friends or relatives in Elora or Fergus, warn them not to drink the tap water. The following link just barely touches the extent of problems, going on for years and years. It's a very long report and the "good" stuff is approximately the second last page. The levels of TCE (Trichloroethylene) put even the William St. wells in Waterloo and the Middleton wells in Cambridge to shame. Then there are at least another dozen toxic chemicals (solvents & pesticides) at low levels in your water.

I've included Elora in this warning because it appears from the 2008 Centre Wellington Annual report that they've combined the two systems into one larger system. Is this how your politicians solve contaminated water, simply by diluting it?

I've been focusing on the Region of Waterloo, tap water issues and their Annual Reports. Let me make this very clear. As deceptive and misleading as the ROW's are, Centre Wellington's are more so.
