Canadian city: gasoline suspected in water supply

Residents of Iqaluit, the capital of the Arctic territory of Nunavut, have been told not to drink, boil or cook with the city’s water.

The city’s investigation into its main drinking water source began last week after residents complained their tap water had a gasoline-like smell. Tests suggested the water was safe. But the most recent test, done in Ottawa, found microbes in the water.

Officials announced there was observed evidence of possible hydrocarbon contamination at the water treatment plant.

In a region known for incredibly high food costs, a litre of bottled water currently sells for nearly C$9 (US$7.25), Mayor Kenny Bell told CBC North on Wednesday. A package of a dozen smaller bottles currently retails for about $24 – reflecting both the cost of shipping in supplies to a community 300km south of the Arctic circle, as well as the current demand for the product.
Nước mắc hơn xăng cho nên pha xăng vô nước để kiếm lời. Chờ thêm vài bữa chắc có tuyết để xài.
