The Water Stewardship Critic for the province want to see a renewed effort in improving water quality.  With Thursday being observed as International World Water Day, Portage la Prairie M.L.A. Ian Wishart suggests we need to be doing more to highlight the importance of fresh water  management.  He thinks we must also reflect on the numerous Manitobans who do not enjoy the benefits of access to clean, fresh water, something many take for granted.

Wishart says currently, 119 water advisories are in effect, impacting all areas of the province. He believes the government should be examining improved water treatment options, such as microfiltration, that could solve some of the water advisory issues in a low cost way.
