Assessing the Safety of Clarenville's Water Supply


As many other towns in NL are suffering water woes, Clarenville's investment in a modern water treatment and distribution system is paying off for its residents.   Just yesterday, the CBC reported that 128 municipalities in this province have THM levels in excess of the Health Canada imposed standard of 100 micrograms per litre - we are NOT one of them.  What's more disturbing for the province is that the number of municipalities with questionable water has doubled in the last thirteen years.

Clarenville's report (see below and link HERE) consistently shows that the water coming out of your town fed tap is safe and safe by a good margin. That's great news and something that the Town and particularly the people who manage our water treatment plant should be very proud of.  (There is a bit of a disturbing trend towards progressively higher THM levels however and something that we should work on addressing.)

THM's are a by-product of the chlorination process.  Chlorine is added to our water to ensure that  possible disease-causing bacteria like salmonella and E. coli are eliminated. Long term THM exposue can cause other health risks.

Considering the importance of safe and clean water to people and industry we really need to promote our clean water  as another reason to move to and live in our town.

We are in a Very Different Spot - Finance Minister Wiseman on Budget 2015

Finance Minister Wiseman summed up the Province's 2015 Budget reality succinctly: “We are in a very different spot”.  In a period in which oil is less than half the value than it was a year earlier, “different spot” is may be a bit of an understatement.  Things have changed a lot in a year and the minister and the government is facing some serious challenges.  Minister Wiseman talk to the Clarenville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening focused exclusively on how and why the government is planning to deal with the downturn – while trying to have a minimal impact on the economy.   In his address he covered the following topics – each of which spoke to the basic principles government has looked at in its crafting the budget: ·                   A Culture of Cost Management     A Refocus our Health System           A Refocus of the College of the North At...
