Residents are being evicted because water and sewer pipes are shot. The owner doesn’t mention them, but it would appear the water pipes in Glen Elm are made of asbestos cement.

A remarkable illustration for Asbestos Awareness Week. A community in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, and a city in Saskatchewan 🇨🇦. Asbestos cement water pipes. 50-yrs.

With all the recent upheaval, I hope the Senator is keeping an eye the regulation of asbestos in water. It used to (1995) cause cancer. When and how did that change? #AAW

Paul, please meet scientists Wang & Cullimore. They know a great deal about asbestos cement water pipes. The city paid $5-mill for their advice.

Hi Heather, Given the fact that Edm has more than 1,000 km of old asbestos cement water pipes, and given that Peter Julian wants an asbestos ban to cover old water pipes, what’s the NDP plan? Asbestos is regulated in U.S. water. Not in 🇨🇦. Thank you.

Think about how much different things would have been if the city spent $150-million to replace all the old asbestos cement water pipes in 2006, when Admin first learned of the problem?

More than two decades ago, Whitmore Park was singled out in a series of scientific studies on Regina asbestos cement water pipe breaks. A major water main break in Whitmore Park, and not a
mention of asbestos.

The one thing that makes me doubt this is the fact that Ms. Block has yet to respond to one msg I have sent (and I have sent several) related to the 345 km of asbestos cement water pipes in Saskatoon. Not a good look. #ACpipes @lhubich.bsky.social

Funny, I have been asking the exact same question of Cllr Tsiklis for the past few months now. Glad you are catching up Paul. Approx 98% of George’s ward is serviced by old asbestos cement water pipes. Pls ask what he has done. Thank you.

SK must act now to remove asbestos in our drinking water Develop a plan to safely replace and dispose of asbestos cement water pipes, including worker protection.

Dealing with the 600 km of old asbestos cement water pipe is pretty much a clean slate. So there’s that. Lots of room for improvement.

Here’s an interesting story from Edmonton about water main breaks. It mentions cast iron and PVC pipes, but ignores the 1,000 km of asbestos cement pipes? Why?

In the event people think asbestos cement water pipes are imaginary/fake, pls watch this lovely old film from the 1950’s when these things were produced. It’s time to regulate asbestos in water. #ACpipes
@shane555.bsky.social

Anything under 10 microns is apparently safe to drink in the U.S., as long as it’s under 7 MFL. In Canada there is no regulation, so drink ‘em if you’ve got ‘em? WTF is “consistent, convincing evidence?” #ACpipes

And people have trouble believing me when I tell them that old asbestos cement water pipes still deliver water to millions of people around the world. #ACpipes
