Do you trust your city’s tap water?

Here is a list of all water treatment chemicals used. City of Ottawa water treatment web site.)

• Aluminum Sulphate (liquid)
• Sulphuric Acid (liquid – 93%)
• Pre-Chlorine
• Sodium Silicate (liquid)
• Lime
• Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid -12%)
• Post-Chlorine
• Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (liquid)
• Sodium Hydroxide (liquid – 50%)
• Aqueous Ammonia (liquid)
• Carbon Dioxide (gas)
• Sodium Bisulphite (for dechlorination)
• Chloramine

Each one of these chemicals would kill you in stronger concentration. Just a thought. This is what they have to say about water. They have the nerve to mention the word ‘purified’ after dumping all this in our water. Here is an oxymoron from the City of Ottawa web page; Chloraminated water is safe for drinking and all water uses. Note: Kidney dialysis patients must take special care with chloraminated water. ‘On an ordinary day, the human body loses about two litres of water through breathing, perspiration and excretion. It’s important that we replace that lost fluid with clean, safe water. While the waterborne transmission of typhoid fever, diphtheria, cholera and several other intestinal diseases has decreased by over 98 percent in Canada during the last 50 years, our water still needs to be purified and treated before we drink it.’
