According to Kevin Falcon, the government is waiting for an answer from their hydrologist, who they expect to determine whether they should take the gravel out of Brown’s Pit. When opinions have been given by several other studies and those express reservations regarding that controversial option, should our government move on the opinion of only one? Is that not taking a gamble, the gamble being that only one person is right? Now what if that one person is wrong and the others are right. Then what is to be done? Our water would be contaminated by the gravel removal! What other option would we have? We would have gambled and lost. I’m not a moonlight gambler. I cannot afford to loose the water we depend on and neither can the other people of the Municipality of Langley. Water is a necessity of life.
