570News - Jeff Allan

Last Saturday morning at about 7:45am I was travelling along Regina Street in Waterloo when I noticed a young female city employee watering the hanging plants ever so lovingly. I also noticed that she was using water from a tank on a truck that said “Non Potable Water”.  What bugged me about this incident was that she was doing her job in the pouring rain!  “Potable water” or “Non Potable Water” makes no difference to me.  The simple fact is she could have been assigned another job to do rather than duplicate the job Mother Nature was doing.  It’s not wasted water I’m ticked about; it’s the dumb use of this employee that bothers me, and it should bother you too.
