Moselle water quality at Lordship Rec
If you are at Lordship Rec this week, don't be alarmed if you see the Moselle has turned a luminous green.
A Thames Water team have been investigating the poor quality, cloudy and smelly water in the Moselle. They have added some dye to the flow in Turnpike Lane in order to know when it reaches the Rec.
The Friends of Lordship Rec and the Haringey Rivers Forum have been very active, with the Council, in their attempts to improve the quality of the Moselle and they have sent their concerns to the Environment Agency and Thames Water who are now taking the situation very seriously and are trying to find the source of the pollution.

Thanks very much for highlighting this Liz. We saw Thames Water again at the Rec yesterday. Ammonium nitrate concentrations have dropped from 32 ten days ago to just over 7. Which, sadly, doesn't mean its clean. But at least the latest incident is over. More, reasonably accurate, information in this blog here:

Water companies could usefully stop their deliberate contamination of drinking water, at the behest of government, on the pretext that it is medication. The promoters of fluoridation should protect the public by ensuring that the compounds used comply with Pharmaceutical Standards and have a Medical Product's Licence. Without such basic safeguards it is misleading to claim that it is preventative medication rather than an unlawful experiment. With new legislation transferring the decision to the Health Minister, from Local Councils, the safety and purity of our water supplies are under increased threat. Resultant cases of dental fluorosis, affecting over 40% of children, show that it does more harm than good. Fluoride is more toxic than lead, which was banned from petrol, water pipes, paint etc due to its impact on IQ levels. Yet fluoride has been shown to have an even greater adverse effect on IQ levels!
