Smart move: City Council gave drinking water a top priority

[The Invisible Man]

City council made a smart move in making drinking water their top priority. This news report says water is a higher priority to apply for funding for than a new industrial road, Port Alberni city councillors agreed on Monday.

City manager Ken Watson told councillors that the overriding objective of the gas tax fund was reducing green house gases and improving water quality.

Not making an effort to improve water quality would be sending a mixed message to the Vancouver Island Health Authority, who regulate 4-3-2-1.
