And you thought taking out a loan to get government approved water was decades away, I bet? How this ruling benefits the people of Saskatchewan, or Keeler’s residents, I’m not sure. They are obviously aware of the risk posed both by drinking chlorinated water, and water without the chemical in it. Why is SERM not allowing the village to choose? It could be because the law says a municipality may provide water to it’s residents, and it should meet provincial standards. Something in the system isn’t working right, when SERM can ruin a municipality on one issue none of the residents are otherwise concerned about. I tried phoning Mayor Duncan Keeler late Tuesday evening, but there was no answer to the call. If I have time I’ll try to obtain an estimate as to the cost of the water system, and the direction the mayor will take his village will after this crushing ruling desired by Sask Environment and Resource Managment (SERM).

There's nothing democratic about people in Moose Jaw and Regina bankrupting a tiny village 2 hours away for water that it doesn't distribute and isn't legally required to either.
