White Rock mayor refuses to tap-out in debate over water system

The Province reported on the issues with White Rock’s municipal water system and the UBC study that will examine possible solutions for improvement.

White Rock’s council will spend $100,000 on a study by a research team from UBC’s RES’EAU-WaterNET to determine the best process for removing arsenic and manganese, both naturally occurring in the country’s water system.

Madjid Mohseni, a UBC chemical and bioengineering professor and director of RES’EAU-WaterNET, said the group will examine several different technologies that would be suitable for White Rock.
