The water in Greely, Ont. is getting more toxic
Metro Ottawa

Some residents of Greely are facing rising levels of nitrate in their drinking water as a housing development that the city previously rejected based on threat of contamination gets set to begin construction.

According to the 2016 drinking-water quality-management report, which will go before the city’s environment and climate change committee on Tuesday, the nitrate level in the city-operated Shadow Ridge well system, which serves the Greely area, rose by 27.5 per cent in 2016, reaching 5.1 mg/L — just over halfway to 10 mg/L, at which point the water is considered dangerous to drink.
