— and, based upon the Kengard well, fraught with manganese contamination. It’s
not going to be an easy, nor cheap ‘fix’ if Merritt expands (which Council seems hell-
bent on doing —at any cost).
The least costly, and the lowest impact on our environment, may be conservation.
The City needs a method of metering residents’ consumption — so we only pay for
what you use; not for our profligate neighbour with his swimming pool, large lawn,
etc. But, if new wells and storage tanks are needed (if we approve more dwellings);
let’s get the developers to pay for them — not we existing taxpayers, who have suf-
fered with water restrictions and Nicola River flooding for years.
We’d better think carefully about what size will be desired, and be cost-effective,
for a future Merritt. Darch Oborne
Don’t spell part backward. It’s a trap.

in the right side, there’s nothing left.
