Local water ‘awful’

Open letter to North Vancouver
District Council:

If you would like to ensure your
re-election in three years’ time,
just follow this simple formula:
give us back our water.

After having lived in the same
house for over 30 years it’s plain
we have seen torrential rains, am-
ple snowfalls and anything else the
weather can throw at us. Yet, dur-
ing all those years, our water
quality remained constant. Right
up until Expo 86.

At that point, the GVRD
poured so much chlorine into it

we can still taste it, When the tap
isn’t oozing a brownish guk and
the water seems normal enough,
one whiff is enough to send you
reeling.

Meanwhile, you keep charging
us more and more for an inferior
commodity. In 1987 our annual
water bill was $71.50 after dis-
count. This year it’s $132.55.
That's a hike of 85 per cent over
five years.

Come now, at least Jesse James
used a gun.

East side road, please

Dear Editor:

My thanks to Mr. Roelants
(North Shore News Dec. 28, 1990)
for pointing out that a second
highway to Squamish wouldn’t
make any sense if it were to be
built up the west side of Indian
Arm.

Ite must go up the east side;
namely from Coquitlam north
through Belcarra and Buntzen to

Wigwam Inn and over the Mam-
quam Pass to Squamish.

I have talked and written a lot
on this subject in recent months. I
have talked and written east side,
not west side. The only reference I
can find to west side appeared in
the Vancouver Sun. I apologize
for that.

Buildings waste energy

Dear Editor:

I constantly do my best to be
power conscious al) the time, but
become so disillusioned when I see
Vancouver by night.

Sure it is an attractive sight, but
that is 2 luxury we can no longer
afford. Why does every office on
every floor need to be fit for 24
hours? If they halved their con-
sumption it would make a large

difference, probably more than all
the small consumers can save by
putting out house lights.

Could not B.C. Hydro set a
power usage limit depending on
floor area? There must be a way
to prevent this terrible waste of
energy.

NVD can cut letter costs

Dear Editor:

Every year we proudly pay our
dues to the District of North Van-
couver for water service, and our
pets’ and licence fee. .

For the last year we have been
receiving three invoices for water
and two dogs, ali addressed to me
on the same day in three letters at
a cost of $1.09.

While the district debates over a

surcharge of $.50 per replacement
tag fee for the dogs, they could
instead take a walk to the
mailroom and see how much
could be saved on postage and
labor by sending only one letter
per household at a cost of $.36
per letter.
