Introduction

Last week in one of canada's capital cities, people filling buckets and jugs from the sylvia granell river that runs through calwet. For days, people in acalweed hade been posting on social media that something in the water smelled off. But late last week, their fears were confirmed. Few had gotten into the water supply. The city has since been under a state of emergency as officials race to flush the system and get clean water flowing again.
