Some waterworks in SK, after repeated documented requests, have had no backup operator in place for years. No replacement if this person falls ill, and no enforcement by the regulator, just request again next year. This is now more important than ever with #COVID19SK. #skpoli

Pipelines are not perfect. A leak is a possible pathogen entry point if positive pressure is not maintained. This is why there are minimum requirements for human consumptive use. Be informed! #publichealth @… instagram.com/p/CAu3DEgngSP/…

Waterworks operators and municipal leaders, working together to hide dangerous aspects of your water. Isolated incident? Documents and actions suggest that Government of Saskatchewan encourages this. #skpoli #sask esemag.com/water/alberta-…

Just because your potential new acreage lot is on city water does not mean it is without disturbing issues. Be informed, don't put your family and investment at risk.

Government officials charged for their roles in the Flint water crisis. Meanwhile, the Sask gov still uses this playbook to hide their water regulation failures and protect private water suppliers. #saskpoli npr.org/2021/01/14/956…
