This sounds like gallows humour.
It is incredible that people faced with this unbearable situation are so resigned to accept the situation. The water rates are about to increase to 84 cents per m3 yet about a third of the consumers are getting absolutely no improvements as of now. Since 2002 water rates increased about 140% and the complaints are few.
There is still no firm plans for the improvement of the Old Kamloops Road area water system but their rates are as steep as those in the city where water can be safely consumed from the tap. Consumers receiving their water from Goose Lake have to buy their drinking water, an additional expense of probably $100-150 annually. When do you complain to your elected representatives?
Fairness to all is important in life but it appears we are getting less and less of it!
