Mr Silly Blue Floaty

Can someone, anyone, please tell me... why is there this silly blue balloon hovering atop almost every canal on our tiny island???? A silly, shaped-like-water-droplet balloon, with nothing on it except a lazy grin, and skinny flapping "arms" & stick-like "legs" to go along... No emergency hotlines, no well-intentioned precautions, no names of canal, nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING one ounce important printed on it.

So why, do we have that thing suspended above every tweeny weeny crook & crevice where water flows?? So as to help big bad terrorists pinpoint exactly where to drop their deadly bio-weapons?? So as to show murderers yet another venue to dump their victims' bodies?? So as to tell citizens that "hey, we've got many canals over here, so don't worry, you won't ever run out of water you know"? So as to show us that PUB, or ENV, or NEA or whatever govt agency is doing its job?? So as to use up taxpayers monies?? So as to celebrate National Day in blue??

If anyone knows, please tell me.
