Major water improvements on tap, Williams promises

Newfoundland and Labrador's premier says his government will likely spend heavily in the new year to improve the quality of the province's drinking water.

Danny Williams said he intends to do something meaningful about the discoloured and often foul-smelling water he has seen in plenty of communities, mostly in rural areas.

"I remember when I first got into politics, I was horrified at the drinking water in this province, in many communities, that was contaminated," Williams told CBC News.

Now armed with a record-setting surplus — the province reported earlier this month it is expecting to finish the fiscal year with $881 million in the bank — Williams said the province can start fixing longstanding water quality issues.

...he described the issue as a personal priority for the coming year, which likely means it will become a government mission for 2008.

Interesting, how the provincial government's infrastructure priorities can shift about so.

Not that long ago, the Trans-Labrador Highway was - past tense - was, supposedly, The! Number! One! Priority!

Interestinger: who needs a stinkin' cabinet, anyway!

The government has not yet developed a plan on tackling water quality. In fact, Williams said he has not even consulted his cabinet on it.

Wow.

Where's Bob Benson when you really, really, really need him?
