as water search continues The search for more water for Acton which began in is going to continue and the region t given up on making use of the Prospect Park well Last week the region decided to hire V Ander son a consulting firm at a cost of 500 to either find more water outside Acton or find a way to treat the water from the Prospect Park well so it looks dnnkableandwon I damage clothing Regional Councillor Dave Whiting says currently there arc four wells supplying Acton with million gallons a day of water which isn enough to meet peak demands in the summer He notes there Is no danger or hazard in the event of fire when water Is in short supply because there is a reservoir system The Acton water search has been an since 1953 and in the early 1970s the large Park well was found This well produces a million gallons of water a day and while it safe to drink re will rememberfrom receiving this water for a week last fall It doesn look very good Not only is the yellow brown water not very palatable but chemicals introduced to the water to solve the color problem react with detergents and leaves some clothing with a brown tinge So far between and has been spent trying to get good water out of the Prospect Well half of what would be recovered when and If equipment is ever removed and used at another well Whiting notes The need for water Whiting says for future residents or growth it for the people living here The region is faced with two choices either spend a lot on new wells or find a way to make the water from Prospect useable There is water In three areas around town One is on Highway 7 east of Acton where six to wells would have to be dug to produce a sufficient 1 million gallons a day at a estimated cost of million The likelihood of finding water is described as minimal and a lot of holes will have to be dug The second area Is north of town on Highway where three to six wells producing million gallons a day will be needed The cost would I be Si million and chances of finding water minimal Chances of finding water In area the Blue Springs urea southwest of town arc better Five to nine wells producing 1 million gallons a day will cost Si 7 million Whiting notes none of these alternatives include cost of buying land in the cost estimates The consulting firm which lias been involved in the Acton water problems for many years won out over two other firms to carry out the region study because their proposal Includes bringing in a firm which is experienced at chemically treating water Anderson bid including using the firm Polluted whilcGore and Storrie quoted A full scale treatment plant at the Prospect Well will cost million but if the water cm be chemically treated on a lower scale it ill only tost year Chemically treating the water has been tried once and flopped This time it won I be put through local water pipes and out Acton taps until it his been thoroughly tested and there is problem with col or taste odor etc
