' No chlorination. That was the message Waterloo city council unanimously sent the region Monday as it opted to request the region not to chlori- nate water to be used within the city until the Mannheim Re. charge system is operating in 1991 or 1992. Ian Klrkby Chronicle Staff water . chlorination Ch Whit?!- Police are asking parents of children who attend Cedarbrae school to caution their chil. dren nottohandleany small cylindrical shaped objects, about half the length of a ball-point pen, they may find on the schoolyard. And if anything resembling this is found, report it immediately to a teacher or police. Three blasting caps were found in the yard at Cedarbrae school in Waterloo's Lakeshore Village in the last week The caps, which are med as detonators to set the charge for a larger explosive, can cause physical damage and even death if they explode while being held, explained Staff Sgt. Al Hunter of the Waterloo Regional Police. “There’s certainly enough forms to cause someone serious injury," he said. Dedpt,uron the variety, blasting caps can be detonated by static electricity, heat sensitivity and motion sensitivity. The 'ylindrkalahaped objects found in the yard are slightly larger in diameter than a pen, and about halfthe length. They can have wires sticking from the end and the cylinders are usually silver metallic in color. but can also be other colors, he cautioned. thye1qtw1ttsfomtdintumhoolramibya student last Friday; a teacher found the other tmrmxr8undar.tloortehastseert injuredby the caps. . ' Cedarbrae students on alert after blasting cap discovery No. 1 Regional water supplies had been chlorinated following an incident in February where a non-hazardous form of coliform was found to be in the drinking water during a routine teat. Waterloo was following on the heels of Cambridge council which last week voted against chlorine tion. Kitchener in March re- quested chlorination be stopped.

There is no way of knowing whether more cape could be on the ground, said Hawkey, but staff and students will continue to be alert. Waterloo regional police. which is conducting an investigation, does not know how the caps got on the school yard, however they would not have been used for any purpose in the school area, said Hunter.

Because they are small and easy to pick up, children may be tempted to grab them to look at or take them to an adult for examination. Letters have been sent home to parents indicating what has happened, and students have been instructed what to do if they see one, explained Hawkey. As well, the schoolyard has been combed by police and older students. All three cups were found in the same area, said school principal Stephen Hawkey. "They were sitting on pavement in plain view." The regional health and engi- neering departments have for years pushed for chlorination of the region's entire water system, but regional councillor: have al, ways bulked at the idea. In a related matter, Waterloo council representatives Andrew Telogdi and Susan Forwell led the fight last week at regional The current chlorination order was instituted by Raisin Mchl. lum, Waterloo region's acting medical otfieer of health. Her permission will be required to lift the chlorination. Telegdi predicted that when the matter comes before regional council later this month "the (council) is going to say, 'get the chlorine out.' " Conn. Andrew Telegdi later said, 'nhere's very little risk involved. We didn't have one case of bad reaction, even when we were on boil alert." "What the people are objecting to is the gobs of chlorine in their drinking water now." 'here's chlorination and there's, chlorination," said Coun. Robert Brown.
