To the editor:

Are you kidding, Alan Newcombe, not concerned about leachate from the dump? Has the leachate been tested for contaminating chemicals from the dump. There are untold chemicals in the effluent, please test for them before this effluent runs into Robert Lake then into Brandt害羞草研究所檚 Creek then into Okanagan Lake then into our drinking water. Any effluent from the dump area should be treated as poison effluent and if contaminated, it should not enter our dinking water nor Robert Lake.

Out of sight out of mind害羞草研究所攚hat are you people thinking i.e. utility manager Kevin Van Vliet and others. At least Kelowna people should know what poisons we are making coffee with. Consider the 12 other ponds just south of the actual dump害羞草研究所攑lease test these for poisons as this water drains into our sewer plant(no poisons are ever removed from the sewer plant害羞草研究所攐nly phosphates and nitrates(fertilizers).. Someone will have to be responsible for our Okanagan drinking water害羞草研究所攅specially when people are not able to drink it anymore. Imagine no morning coffee.
