PETERBOROUGH DRINKING WATER
Good and Bad
Tuesday 24 March 2009

    As for myself I buy spring water 2 or 3 of the 18 liter plastic bottles at a time delivered to my home. And I buy the disposable small plastic bottles of spring water frequently. And I avoid as much as possible drinking city tap water. As do many other people.
    The empty 18 liter bottles are returned to the spring water supplier when they make the new deliveries to me.
    As to the smaller plastic bottles, they find their way to the garbage. Apparently they are NOT recycled, and last a very long time in the dumps or on the surface of the oceans of the world. There is a real need for a different material for those bottles... perhaps glass?
    In Toronto a man who had been poisoned by PCB s years before, and who carried an oxygen tank with him, or near him 24/7, introduced me to filtered city tap water. The Water Dome was a 3 stage filtering system and one part was activated charcoal. The man connected the filer system to the water at my kitchen sink, turned on the cold water, pushed a plunger and the filtered water came into a drinking glass.
    He then performed a test on the tap water which was not filtered using a Canadian Tire swimming pool testing kit. The chlorine level was at the top of the scale... as was the other measurement. He then tested the filtered water and the chlorine level was at the bottom of the scale, as was the other measurement.
    The final test came next. He had me drink the filtered water. Okay.
    And then he had me drink the tap water, and I spit it out immediately.
    And so not to lose my point, the other day an older man in a coffee shoppe told me that he was used to spring water at his home outside of Peterborough. And he found he could not drink the city water because of its taste!
    Also he pointed out that one day he was shown river water that had been through a treatment plant and ended up in a swimming pool. He noticed the water in the pool was brownish in colour. And people drink that kind of water out of the city taps.
    At times in the shower I can smell the chlorine in the water, and my sense of smell is not the best.
    And another time the city water had so much chlorine in it that an offset printing press would not work properly because of the acid content of the water in the water fountain of the press! We had to use distilled water for a few days!
    It seems that various poisons are added to our drinking water every day including chlorine and fluorides, etc.
    Of course we do not mention the deaths from drinking water at another city in Ontario. The water treatment plant was not properly monitored. And who went to jail?
    Of course some poisons and bacteria, etc. get into our food, air, water because of the increase of industrial poisons in the world.
    The best cure is prevention.
    What say you?
