A strange budget indeed. Almost 18% increase in mill rate and utilities. Completely unsustainable, and nary a whisper. Remarkable.
It is a truly remarkable coincidence. Upon reflection I suspect @astevens81.bsky.social may be sensitive due to the FOI material I raised today. He was on council at this time. He would know about both reports. Insufferable indeed. @shitny.bsky.social
Funny, @astevens81.bsky.social was much friendlier when I first raised this issue with him seven years ago. He also made it clear at that time that lead pipes were #1.

No, it wasn’t a super weird take. Perhaps the rude former city councillor is still upset with the work that W5 did on asbestos cement water pipes in Regina, when he did nothing. Do your own research.

In the event @astevens81.bsky.social is having trouble finding the page, let me help. The city paid $5-million for this study, and nine more just like it. Dr. Stevens has known about this for years. Three studies. C’mon Andy.
The City of Regina paid $5-million for 10 scientific studies on asbestos cement water pipes. Clearly Dr. Stevens hasn’t had the time to read them. 10. Not three. I wasn’t aware the NRC studies has been discounted. By whom?

Dr. Arthur Frank is widely regarded as the leading expert in this field. You chose to ignore this issue during your time on council. 🤐

One. Burton.
Which would I prioritize, asbestos cement or lead service connectors? I am not an expert on lead, but I do know the city spent
$5-million to study asbestos cement water pipes. 2010 ⬇️ Cancer. Top of Pg., 2. @sharonturnbull4.bsky.social

I believe what @pdcityhall.bsky.social meant to say was that Branch said the city should prioritize asbestos cement water pipe replacement because it spent $5-million on scientific studies that say cancer. Top of Pg., ⬇️.

See below the submission of Julian Branch. Paul appears to have chosen not to include that for some reason.
Let’s share that full submission shall we. @saskboy.bsky.social @sasksafer.bsky.social

I can think of a better Comms progressional. This woman put Regina on the international map with Experience Regina. I can’t eat to
see what she does for Moe.

Hello Tony, please outline your
position on the almost 14-thousand km of old asbestos cement (AC) pipes delivering water to millions of unsuspecting Canadians. Do you have a plan to replace them? Thank you.

Given her recent Instagram post on the importance of Regina water infrastructure, I suggest @sarahturnbull.bsky.social needs to watch ⬇️. Old asbestos cement pipes make up approx 1/2 the water distribution network in the city.

When you look at the stats below you will find the locations also have something else in common - old asbestos cement water pipes.

In Vernon, British Columbia there are a lot of old asbestos cement water pipes. The city has no idea of their condition, and says it’s okay to drink asbestos cuz Health Canada says so. Huh.

You mention water bills.

Paying more, getting worse. I have been chatting with Nick for a while now. He is real, and so is this issue.

2029 Headline: Aquatic facility $2-billion over budget. Mayor Tsiklis blames climate change and homeless. Calls for 30% increase in water bills to cover hike. In other 2029 news, Mosaic Stadium is still roof ready.
What a nice birthday present.

I was frankly surprised WC ran it. How about Watershed Sentinel?
I live in Regina, SK. Between 2010-2022 there were 2,477
asbestos cement water main breaks. It’s the clay soil that breaks our pipes. The city said there is no asbestos in the water. That’s when I contacted W5. It’s worth watching.

Italy is has a great
Deal of old asbestos cement water pipes. Earthquakes in recent decades have wreaked havoc on underground infrastructure. Italy is
leading the research in this area.

I am aware of asphalt.
There is a great vid on YouTube.
All I am saying about swallowing asbestos is that there is a growing body of evidence 🇨🇦&🇺🇸 that drinking the fibres is a very foolish proposition.
As for low fibre counts, tell that to residents of Brockway, PA. The water report below says 1.3 Billion fibres per litre.
I think 🇨🇦 might want to chat with some of these Kenyan scientists, cuz that jurisdiction is prioritizing asbestos cement water pipe replacement.
145 asbestos cement water pipe breaks in Regina this year. Was the water tested for asbestos at each break? Were residents notified? Sadly, the answer to both is no. BTW, we still have three months to go.
