Water quality is not
the same as years past

Dear Editor:

In a recent letter to the North
Shore News, Mr. Morse, Chief
Engineer for the GVRD_ said,
‘Greater Vancouver’s drinking
water quality is the same now as it
has always been.”’

Perhaps Mr. Morse was not
born in Vancouver or perhaps his
taste buds and eyesight are begin-
ning to fail him. I was born in
Vancouver and would like to tell
Mr. Morse that Vancouver’s
drinking water is not of the same
quality now as it was 25 years ago
— if appearance and taste are two

of the measures of quality.

The water now is dreadfuily
chlorinated and when we have a
geod rainstorm the sediment in
the water is disgusting. Because of
this, more and more people are
resorting to water filters and bot-
Ued water.

Stop defending our cloudy,
chlorine fouled water, Mr. Morse,
and get on with the job of return-
ing to us the quality of water we
once enjoyed!

Drinking water is filthy

Dear Editor:

Regarding ‘“‘the disma} esthetic
state of the local drinking water’’
as stated in a recent editorial in
the News:

Turbid? The water is filthy, and
we don’t agree with your News
viewpoint in any way.

What you shouid be asking is
who is responsible and why the
Greater Vancouver Water Board
has been logging water board

Association

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the North Shore
Association for the Mentally
Handicapped, I extend a warm
thank you to all zone captains and
canvassers who worked so hard on
our annual door to door campaign
1990 and to all North Shore resi-
dents who donated so generously.

To date we have raised over
$53,000 for the programs and ser-
vices for mentally handicapped

property in Seymour since the
1960s.

Where in h — — — did all that
profit go? And why, after 40
years of combined effort are they
starting studies now?

Obviously the GVRD/GVWB
hasn’t done us any good. We had
better water years ago and it
didn’t cost us as much.
