CSWVA unsupportable health claims

CSWVA Health Claims about Senanus Water

"We do not wish to be Walkerton II" … "Sadly, it took the water-related deaths in Walkerton to bring the urgency associated with water problems to the fore. Our own situation has many parallels with Walkerton, too many to allow any relaxation in our efforts to seek a permanent problem resolution.

[Note: the Walkerton Water Tragedy was a result of a faulty Municipal water system - not a system of private wells.]

"Many of the residents in our neighborhood have a significant and hazardous problem with their water supply." - Petition supporting documentation, March 2001
"The majority of Mayor and Council have decided to gamble with the lives of the citizens they supposedly represent…" "The residents of Senanus have a very serious, potentially deadly problem” …
"Despite the serious threat to the health of their constituents..." "they have chosen to ignore an extremely serious health and fire threat."
"a small neighborhood within the District of Central Saanich that suffers from a significant ground water hazard.” …" the Senanus Drive area in Central Saanich are living with water supplies which have essentially been condemned.”
"As the CSWVA residents approach another summer of unhealthy inadequate water supply..."
"difficult to treat and prone to rapid bacterial growth" "our primary concern is health"
"BACTERIOLOGICALLY UNSATISFACTORY WATER INDICATED"
"We residents of Senanus Drive have been obliged to practice water conservation for many years even before our wells became contaminated with salt water intrusion and the aquifer became depleted. The depletion was the result of the sinking of 2 deep wells by the new owners of Woodwyn Farm about 15 years ago..."

[Point of Correction: Woodwynn Farm does not water or irrigate from wells. It waters using this legal water license on Hagan Creek.]

CSWVA distributed information prior to petitioning residents that many residents have complained was incorrect, misleading, and false.
