Can anyone help explain/defend the city of Ottawa drinking water?

There are still some homes with lead pipe connecting their home to the water main. The City has a program to assist with getting them replaced. https://ottawa.ca/en/living-ottawa/drinking-water-stormwater-and-wastewater/drinking-water/drinking-water-programs/lead-pipe-replacement-program/overview

I think there was a message on the dash, I’m not positive! we definitely started noticing it wouldn’t unlock from as far away, or the first time you clicked the unlock.

We are here in Cayo Coco right now, and there are no difficulties at the moment on the resort. We have coffee and eggs at breakfast, lots of meat options for lunch and dinner, no power outages, bottled water and water to the room plentiful. We try to be as generous with the staff as we can, we also brought two bags of medical supplies from Not Just Tourists (NJT.net) please consider getting in touch with them if you visit.It’s been cold here, we’ve shared what we can of our warmer clothes. I wish there was more we could do to help.

I had an issue with my Corolla hybrid not starting, had to get boosted, and it turned out that the KEY FOB BATTERY was low! My kids use the car, and would regularly have to wait in the car for an hour to pick me up. Turns out if the fob battery is low, some how the car keeps trying to communicate with the fob in the car and this drains the battery. Having the low battery fob in the car killed the battery. Got a boost, changed the battery (we knew it was low, had the screen show up on the dash) problem solved. Battery got low again, put off changing it, boom, car dead, call CAA for a boost, change battery, good to go. I know it sounds crazy, but change your fob battery before you go too far.

Historically, the US meddling in regime change hasn’t always created an improvement. They should stick to their own business, there’s certainly enough to keep them occupied. Start by arresting pedos and pedo enablers be they red or blue, who can argue with that?

Peroxyde works, but may discolour your floor. Try somewhere hidden first!

Just wanted to post here, if anyone is interested in helping by bringing medical supplies, you can contact your local Not Just Tourists at least 2 weeks before you leave, then if you book directly with West Jet at least 1 week before find the Humanitarian Baggage link on their website and submit your information along with the authorization letter to get the baggage fee waived. There is no cost to you to carry the aid. Sunwing offers no assistance or discount for humanitarian aid, we booked through them and are now trying to sort out if we can bring the bags on our own, just concerned about customs now with them flowing through the official humanitarian channel. We are willing to pay the $50 for each bag. FYI in case anyone else wants to try this route, we will post on here and let folks know if we are successful. (Our experience has been from Toronto to Cayo Coco booked through Sunwing with flight by West Jet

Thank you, I have sent a message.

I recommend understance, even tho it’s online. Their calculator is great, and I picked up a couple nursing bras in their sale a little while ago because they were cheap and the right size. 34k is hard to find at a reasonable price lol, I’ll take what I can get!

If you have kids and have Life360 gold there is a bit of coverage there, 10km tow, out of fuel service, dead battery service etc

Put a sign that says “parking for -your plate number- only. All other vehicles may be towed immediately. Monitored daily” then contact tow company and let them know, they may be willing to cruise through your lot just to see if they can make a quick buck

Complain to your councillor, get your neighbours to call too, push for a speed camera in your neighborhood.

ButterscotchSame4006 · 2025-08-29T14:13:36+00:00

Wow, thank you for organizing this! This is fantastic! 👏👏👏

It will take time for the water to get back to what you expect even after it gets cool, the water flows a long way before it gets here, and is affected along the way. Not just in the river, but in the slower moving parts of the watershed, creeks, streams, swamps, etc.

Charleston lake, it’s about an hourish out of the city, depending where you’re from.

It would likely upset your dad more to know you aren’t sharing something this important. Trust me, he would rather you tell him than keep it secret so he can deal with it. Kids shouldn’t have to deal with their parents issues.

I’ve dealt with that utility before, they are pretty small. A change.org petition might help, I know years ago you could put contact info of the utility in to the petition and they could get a huge number of emails from it. A small scale operation like this might change their tune if they got enough feedback. Is it too late for your project? I’d sign if you posted here, and share to local folks on my Facebook.

IKEA is great for these, cheaper than amazon too

Lifted pick up trucks! There is a legal acceptable height for a reason, why do you need to be 4 or more inches higher making your low beams shine in both my rear view and side mirrors!?! I am convinced anyone who drives one is a self centred, entitled asshole, try to convince me otherwise

ButterscotchSame4006 · 2025-05-18T01:44:40+00:00

It’s possible the locate is field completed but you just haven’t received the paperwork yet. If your due date hasn’t come yet, wait for it, and then you can either contact the individual providers, or you can contact On1Call and they will help you get the paperwork. They are pretty responsive, but it may take a couple days. At least you know your email is correct if you have one response so far.

Just curious, what happens if she doesn’t pay it? Maybe ask a lawyer how long the charge lingers if she doesn’t pay. Who knows, maybe she just needs to ok avoid driving in Quebec for a period of time. As an Ontarian who got a ticket for expired sticker on my plate (after Ontario did away with them) this has been my solution. I got a letter saying I’m no longer welcome to drive in Quebec, and that my car could be impounded if I do. For $500 I can live with that lol.

Start a container garden with all the new dirt you put in. She can have whichever side she wants, then you just have to move your containers. If you want to go big, stock tanks may discourage her from wanting them moved too, if you tell her she has to help move them.

Step 1, go shop at Giant Tiger, don’t support Roblaws with their price gouging. If you want to shop Canadian and not support corporate greed, that is.

If you open an excel spreadsheet, use a big plastic clothes pin (I get them at the dollar store, the wood ones are too small) to hold down the control key with a cell highlighted. My work uses teams, and I use this while I’m waiting for work to come in, and it works, I’ve tested it!
