Shock Chlorination is the process by which wells are sanitized with chlorine. Shocking Chlorination is the most widely recommended means of treating bacterial contamination in home water systems such as wells, springs and cisterns.

As Manitoba prepares itself for yet another Spring Flood, it is crucial that we are fully prepared incase of an emergency. Having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least ½ a gallon of water each day. People in hot environments, children, nursing mothers and ill people will require even more.

Manitoba will invest $22 million in equipment and technology to improve flood-fighting capacity and preparedness as it faces the potential for widespread spring flooding, Premier Greg Selinger announced.
About $21 million of the funding will go towards acquiring resources and equipment as required to further support the level of provincial flood fighting and preparedness including:

More than 1,760 neighbourhoods and communities across Canada are currently being told to boil their drinking water, the Canadian Medical Association Journal reports.
"That's the minimum. There's probably more than that," said Steve Hrudey, a public health engineer who also served on the research advisory panel into contaminated water crisis in Walkerton, Ont. Seven people died and at least 2300 people became ill due to an outbreak of E. coli in the Walkerton water supply in May, 2000. While boil-water advisories are supposed to be used as a "precautionary measure," Hrudey said it is obvious the advisories are being used in place of treatment. "A lot of those advisories have been in place for months and in some cases years. So clearly in those kinds of situations, the boil water advisory is being used as an alternative to treatment, which is just not acceptable," he said.  A spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care also told the CMAJ that public health units in Ontario, for example, do not always report all their advisories to the Ministry, nor do they always report when an advisory has been lifted.
"We've got a situation in Canada . . .

By their very nature, the pipes a plumber might work on in your house tend to be made of lead.
After all, the Latin word for lead is plumbum.
For so many post-war suburban homes, pipes that carry water indoors contain this poisonous metal.
Lead systems also funnel drinking water into most Victorian-era homes, common in cities and towns across Canada, like Ottawa and Montreal. The City of Ottawa estimates about 28,000 homes built before 1955 have lead pipes. But pipes in newer subdivisions aren't made with lead. And some homes that have had construction done nearby may have had safer copper replacements installed by the city. This week, the Province of Ontario ordered 36 municipalities to undergo testing after higher-than-normal levels were found in water in homes in London. Preliminary water tests at Queen's Park also came back abnormal. Seven of 20 tested sources of tap water at the Ontario legislature were found to have higher-than-allowable levels of lead.

TORONTO – Children whose drinking water contains high concentrations of manganese appear to have lower IQ scores on average than children not exposed to the metallic element, researchers have found.

I woke up to some good news today, when I saw the headline "Green Party of Canada calls for ban on the fluoridation chemicals hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride." It seems that, like me, the Green Party isn't happy with the fact that we indiscriminately pump fluoride into our water supply and wants it banned at the federal level. Go Green Party!

Dear World of Water Volunteers and Supporters;
I wanted to take some time to pass along to each and everyone of you our appreciation. The support of World of Water is hugely important to us as it forms an integral part of the team that makes the Manitoba Marathon work. The success, enjoyed by the Manitoba Marathon, has only been possible because of the support we receive from companies like yours - companies committed to a healthy lifestyle for all, including people living with an intellectual disability. Manitoba Marathon has grown to nearly 14,000 participants and over 2000 volunteers plus thousands of spectators - that would not have happened had we not enjoyed the support from your volunteer team and your stores. Through your support we provide clean, safe water to our participants and to our volunteers. That support is immense and is very much appreciated.

Since 1976, World of Water has been the exclusive producer of their Dewdrop brand bottled water, and during that time, the product has remained unchanged. The unmatched purity of Dewdrop water makes it perfect for carrying out essential duties in the human body, and that simply cannot be improved upon. Water is used to assist with many functions in the body including hydration, digestion, and removal of wastes, and pure water can perform these functions much better than water that contains impurities. In short, the more pure the water, the better it can serve the body.
