I live surrounded by gravel…

I live surrounded by gravel pits, and upstream from the Hillsburgh well that has changed hands repeatedly, but which the Ministry has never cared to decrease their water taking despite the demand that Erin township increase its housing stock and improve its wastewater facilities, seemingly without concern about fresh water resources.

The moraines where water has been stored since the last ice age are disappearing under the extractions of the sand and gravel mining industries. When they reach groundwater level they pump the water into local streams and rivers, depriving the municipality and its residents of future fresh water resources.

You get what you deserve. Wellington County is being robbed of its water by greed. Ford's government is a threat to Ontario's beleaguered natural resources. Waterloo's dilemma is repeated throughout the province.
