Uxbridge Mayor Gerri-Lynn O'Connor inforned Durbam Region council that her council and Scugog's will bring forward a motion ta cap tbe popular spring. O'Connor mnade ber comments as council discussed placing sgsat the srping to specify tht the watercod be unsafe since tbe ]Region did not test it. A report from the bealth, departmnent states the spring water is simpyly ground water that reacbes t he surface. Once at the surface, it can be contamina- ted, unlike treated water from Region water systerns. E'Be'anbas alo discussed buil<ding-a-$140,000 parking lot in the area ta stop cars fo parking on tbe roadside. But O'Connor said that would not salve the traffic problem. "That is going ta cause, more problerns in tbe long run," said O'Connor, wbo noted that a _pro- posed sking facility across from the spring is also going ta affect the water. "'That thing bas td be capped," she said.

"How can we spend that kind of money for something we can't say is safe," said Hamre. Contacted by The Free Press, one Whitby resident who makes montbly trips to the spring said she. does not support cappingth spring. Margaret McKnight, who lives on Garden St., north of Rossland, has been travelling~ to the spring once a rnônth sî'nce ber wei1 becarne contaminated. According ta McKnight, the spring is the only source of water for ber and four other residents living on Garden St. "I don't know wbat I will do (if the spring is capped). I hope they give us some notice about this," said McKnight who, rnontbly,, fills a 40-1b. container. "That place is just constant, and a lot of people from Scugog and Uxbridge use it," she added. Regional chairman Garry lier- rema, during discussion on the spring, also noted that a, lot of tourists from Toronto who use the spring also dùmp their gar- bage onth e roadside when they stop ta fM1 containers. "There is nothing like it for danger anywhere else in the regon," said Herrema. O'Connor did not say wben sbe would present the motion ta the Region s works committee. .The Region bas approved post- ing no -parking signs in the ae and no U turn' signs.
