NEWSPAPER NOTICE FOR WOOLWICH DRINKING WATER REPORTS

Well that was a whole lot of nothing. I've been going over the Region's reports for the last few weeks and I knew they were missing some Woolwich Township locations such as Elmira and St. Jacobs. They were also missing Breslau and Heidelberg. After seeing the Drinking Water reports advertised in the Woolwich Observer; stating that they could be found on Woolwich's website (under Township Services- Engineering/Public Works) I looked them up. What a waste of time . All they say is SEE REGION OF WATERLOO. There is no data for these systems presented. You can either go to the Region of Waterloo website and look it all up or go to my archives for February. There you will find a link to the Region's Annual Water Reports on February 25/12. This is very peculiar because with the exception of Breslau, Elmira & St. Jacobs all the other small towns and villages have their own on site wells. Thanks a lot for nothing Woolwich. Apparently you can add crap to your website quickly but you can't seem to remove crap at all. I'm referring to your link to Chemtura mixed in with your CPAC link. This is especially annoying after the revelation of their backroom sweetheart deal with the Ministry of the Environment twenty-one years ago.

Just for the record Elmira/St.Jacobs' water comes up from Waterloo via a pipeline. It might not have NDMA in it but who really knows. The Province and the Region in their infinite wisdom don't advise us of any NDMA results good or bad in their drinking water reports. Incredibly stupid under the circumstances. All the other failures of these Annual reports apply equally to the Townships reports. Far too many ubiquitous chemicals simply aren't tested for. In Heidelberg with the old gas station present I wonder why they don't test for gasoline related compounds such as Toluene, Xylenes and Ethyl Benzene. Both the Conestogo Golf and West Montrose wells are affected by the Grand River. Again there are upriver sources of industrial chemicals that are not being tested for. Shame on all parties.
