Water war threatens B.C.

Sure it’s clean, cheap and plentiful now, but Dorothy Clippindale worries the Capital Region’s water supply will one day be controlled by a profit-hungry multinational corporation.

Clippindale, an Oak Bay resident and member of the recently formed Greater Victoria Water Watch Coalition, said large corporations are becoming increasingly interested in the business of selling water.

“What you get is higher rates, increased costs and poor quality,” said Clippindale.
