Originally, the issue of manganese and arsenic was to have been corrected in 2018, now it is 2019.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and the citizens of White Rock are out-of-pocket for bottled water, reverse-osmosis systems or are hoping the rising levels will not affect them.

Perhaps check some recent studies done on the effects of these minerals. It would appear that manganese is more toxic when absorbed through water.

It’s not just the plumbing that’s at stake, it’s our bodies.

Three more years of this seems unreasonable and unsafe!
