Recycled Sydney water
I became aware that Sydney Water allows houses in new growth areas like Kellyville to use recycled Sydney water from separate taps out in the yards. While I believe that the theory of this is commendable I wrote to Sydney water asking them did they monitor that recycled water for chemicals, as the water would be used on gardens, lawns and because children and animals would access it.
There is a list of chemicals which Sydney water adds to all water including drinking water. One of these is Hydrosilicio Fluoride or Sodium Silicic Fluoride. For toxicity they are on a par with Lead and Arsenic, and are accumulative. But unlike Chlorine, cannot be boiled out but rather concentrate with evaporation. As for water treatment, only Reverse Osmosis will remove it from the water. This is always very expensive.
I wrote to Sydney Water two months ago and asked did they monitor the recycled water for chemicals such as Fluorides. To date they have not supplied me with anything whatsoever. Either they are just very lazy and do not respond to inquiries, or perhaps they do not monitor for Fluorides on any acceptable level, and at the tap outlets.
Those who use this recycled water on their lawns and gardens, and who visit or have relatives in these areas have a right to know. Prove me wrong, please Sydney Water. Show me that Fluorides are not the “Protected pollutant”.
I urge Sydneysiders to have a look at the following websites and see just how protected fluorides are. Then maybe the reason why Sydney Water is so reticent may be clearer to you.
