Nonstop rain for 2 weeks
SO bad that there are issues with our water systems here

"GREATER VANCOUVER - Vancouver Coastal Health is warning people across Greater Vancouver not to drink their water if it appears brown when it comes from their taps.

Chief medical health officer Dr. John Blatherwick said people could have water with high turbidity, cloudiness or haziness caused by particles.

"We are having a problem with the waterline at Seymour [watershed] so Capilano is having to be used and Capilano is our worst source in terms of turbidity," Blatherwick said.

"We thought we should tell people that if the water is brown [this] morning we know it's brown and don't drink the brown water," he added.

He said if people drink the water, however, the worst that can happen is they can suffer from gastrointestinal illness. "


I am concerned that this will happen
