Water bill boycott urged
Posted on October 13, 2010, 8:08am
Mount Gambier’s SA Water customers have been urged to resort to civil dissent by not paying their water bills as fluoridation of the Blue Lake water supply goes online on tomorrow.
SA Water notified Mount Gambier residents by mail on Friday that “controlled amounts of fluoride will begin to be introduced” to the lake’s water supply as part of the state’s oral health initiative.
MLC Ann Bressington called on about 300 people who attended a public fluoride meeting at the Saint Martin’s Lutheran College on Saturday evening to encourage the entire community to not pay their SA Water bills.
“Fluoride is rat poison,” she said.
“If you can’t drink it, you can’t pay for it.”
Ms Bressington said residents had done everything from signing petitions to a hunger strike and protests to stop fluoridation, but all their efforts to be heard were ignored.
