Bottled Water Safety Concerns.

Check out this article posted on the front page of today's Toronto Star 

Here is my recap on the article.

- Wednesday October 2nd: Ontarios Health Minister sends out warning not to drink bottled water from Blue Grass Water Company

- Water is heavily contaminated with bacteria and could cause illness.

- Company is linked to a man who has already had legal troubles in Ontario for unfit business deals.

- The log cabin in which the water is bottled lacks sufficient equipment, such as lack of stainless steel walls and no toilet in the building.

Essentially the article illustrates how little infrastructure there is to deal with bottled water companies, and how the consumer for the most part will be better protected by drinking tap water.
