PUC to consider returning to old water treatment chemical

[Barry Morris]

Does the PUC really need to study this before taking action? It seems CLEAR to me that most residents want the good old water supply back. Now....how much will it cost us taxpayers to go back to the old, reliable system?

You mean the one where they were injecting ammonia into the water because it was coming from a different source. Which they don't have any more??

[Barry Morris]

And your proof of this is where???

Sorry, that would be a breach of privacy. ie, a good buddy of mine is one of the guys responsible for the water quality. PS, he drinks right from the tap too.

Now, naturally, you won't accept this as a source, but I'm OK with that.

I am pretty sure if is was true it would be pretty easy to prove it with a google search.

Funny side note though you certainly didn't seem interested in using your inside info to settle the whole dirty east end water saga.

What should I expect when you are working with an agenda.

[Magneto]

And when you open a jug of pure bleach you can't smell it at all.

Did you dream up this Hair brain theory all on your own?

Priceless simply priceless.

Well...... allow me to retort.

Familiarize yourself with human anatomy -- specifically the olfactory senses.

Then.. for further proof... take a H2S Alive course -- Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness..... and read what they tell you about exposure at certain levels.
For example... at 0.01-1.5 PARTS PER MILLION -- a faint rotten egg odor is detectable. Odor threshold (when rotten egg smell is first noticeable to some). Odor becomes more offensive at 3-5 ppm. Above 30 ppm, odor described as sweet or sickeningly sweet. Levels of 100-150 - Loss of smell (olfactory fatigue or paralysis).

Similar to being in a room with a propane or gas leak -- you smell it at first... as the room fills with gas, you smell it less and less... just because you don't smell it doesn't mean that the gas is no longer present -- at higher concentrations you simply don't smell it anymore.

Similar to if you've ever worked at a gas station or were at one for an hour or two.... eventually you don't smell gasoline anymore, unless you get away from the smell and come back... or smell your clothes...

"Olfactory fatigue or paralysis"

With any odor -- with prolonged exposure or high concentrations - you smell it at first... and then its gone...

Just because you don't know jack squat about anatomy and biology doesn't mean that things you fail to comprehend or educate yourself on aren't true. Checkmate my friend, checkmate. You've lost this one. If you have any brevity or decency in taking your loss like man, you'll quit antagonizing.

Barry's playing nice with you..... he won't tell you, because I think he'd like you to try to expand your mind with doing some research with the wonderful tools known as research and reading.


I'm using a significantly different approach.

Man up... admit you're wrong... take your medicine.
Play nice now.

My only agenda is not caring about those who don't believe anything I say, just because I said it!! Jokes on you!!!

I am betting you may not be smart enough to realize you are contradicting yourself?


Seems to smell less and ACTUALLY smelling less are not the same thing.


But hey have at er there sockie.

[Barry Morris]

That's only true if you constantly have some kind of objective test apparatus with you.

Smell is subjective, obviously, since lots of us have no problem with the odor, even when we live in the same area as the whiners.

Hmmmmm.....cutting people down for having their own opinion. Does your religion also accept sarcasm and other forms of belittling?

Seems you only see one side!! No surprise there. Not judging, are you???

Well, sheep, the time has come. First time banned in 15 years.

So, it's time to move on. After a few words scattered about, Soonet, see ya. Barry Morris

I wasn't judging, Barry. It was nothing more than observation...

Some will be positively giddy over this one. It will be desolate in here minus one of the most active protagonists around to be drawn and quartered on a regular basis. I thought you would never tire of having the local "hounds" snapping at your heels.Keep my number and address and remember, Pepsi, not coffee. See you when I return.

I think its funny. Giddy is pushing it. Also I really think you should reconsider on the Pepsi

12 cans/bottles a day for 60 years now. Tried a Coke, once, too sweet for myself.

[BFLPE]

Who needs Pepsi when we have this wonderful tap water?

That's insane but like smoking and drugs, some people can do it until they are 90.

I stand by my previous comment, to me, all is fine. No discolouration, no taste, no smell. We are as always in the downtown core. I read some comments from people in our area who are disgruntled with the water quality. One can only wonder how one home has good water yet a home a block or two away has malodorous fumes, discolouration and foul taste. I am in no way, shape, or form questioning their words or judgement, I sincerely wonder how it occurs.

I ceased regular Pepsi a few years ago now and promptly lost 60+ pounds. I drink, at the most, one coffee a day, never touch tea, and purify all my water with alcohol.
