HEALTH: OWASA considers bold initiative on water

I hope the attached will be of interest to people in the Sagam community. It is a proposal to our local water authority here in North Carolina to take a more global approach to water issues, including bottled water. If anyone in the community has any comments or reactions, I would be happy to be sure that they are communicated to the water authority.

Following the posting of this link, the Board of the water authority met (on 8 Sep 2005) and here is a preliminary summary of their action on this item:

"The Board discussed a petition regarding OWASA tap water and commercial bottled water, and directed staff to draft an action plan for informing customers about tap water and bottled water. This item will receive further discussion in an upcoming Board meeting."

Here is the story of the OWASA Board's action as reported in the local News and Observer.

I will try to keep the Sagam community posted on further developments.
