    There are ways that we can currently do it, not putting an imperfect system in where there currently is none is waffling. How long till we see imperfect implemented to mitigate?

    I’m not touching on cost or complexities as I don’t think that would be useful in this particular conversation.

      Cost is an important factor. Someone has to pay for installation, maintenance etc. It needs to be clear how much is going to fall on municipalities, provinces, and feds to tackle this issue. Dumping all the costs on a municipality is unreasonable.

      A partial solution could be something like a rebate for in home RO installations for drinking and cooking water. This tackles the biggest health concern while only treating a small fraction of the total water a city pumps.

        Like I said we don’t need those sorts of details when there is only the smell of a plan.
