The City of Ottawa’s tap water ranks among the safest and cleanest in the world; over 100,000 quality tests are performed per year, testing for dozens of organic and inorganic substances. In contrast, bottled water is subject to fewer laws, contributes to rapid environmental decline, and is sold at exorbitant prices on municipal property. We, the undersigned, are calling on Council to cease selling bottled water in all City buildings, and instead promote the City’s own high-quality drinking water. _____________________________________________________________________ L'eau de robinet de la ville d'Ottawa est parmi les meilleures et les plus sûres au monde; plus de 100 000 tests de qualité sont effectués par année, et ces tests visent des dizaines de substances organiques et inorganiques. Par contre, l'eau en bouteille est soumise à moins de règlements, contribue à un déclin rapide de l'environnement, et elle est vendue à des prix exorbitants sur les lieux-mêmes de la municipalité. Nous, soussignés, lançons un appel au Conseil municipal de cesser la vente de l'eau en bouteille dans tous les édifices de la municipalité, et de promouvoir l'eau de la ville d'Ottawa, qui est une eau de grande qualité. |
