Water

For the past few years residents of Brantford have been under serve watering restrictions for the summer months. This was justified as being necessary because of low summer river levels and the inability of the water treatment plant to keep up with the demand. Now it is learned that the city plans to supply the Ethanol plant that wants to locate outside the city in Cainsville with city water. This plant requires 1,410 litres of water per minute or up to 2 million liters (approx 450,000 gallons) of water per day. How can the City justify suppling a plant in the county with this enormous amount of water when telling its citizens that they must conserve or face shortages? Someone is obviously not telling the truth or else instead of watering restrictions in a couple of years the average citizen will be restricted in all water use and only able to flush their toilet between 2 am and 4 am.

This would also leave King and Benton able to sell their property in the nortwest with whoever buys it able to tap in to the aquifer. A double loss for the average citizen. Score another one for the developers.
