Another story on water woes.

Water sources in the Okanagan are under assault from all directions. Earlier I posted the plight of the Kettle River (http://coldstreamernews.blogspot.com/2008/11/water-wars-continue-anger-rising-over.html) but we have probably even greater problems here in our own neighbourhood.

On Tuesday night Greig Crockett organized a meeting at his home where a number of attendees, including Huguette Allen of the Green Party and Randy Schellenberg of the Citizens' Coalition to Save Silver Star Provincial Park. We were informed of the problems associated with sewage on the mountain. You may find the following link both educational and scary. Our aquifers and our creeks are being polluted at the source.
