last week before It was closed down again foul up works department staff failed to tell the region health department or local councillors what was going on As a result no one knew what lo tell angry den la who called up o com plain of foul smelting dls colored flowing through heir apa A special teal of he water done by the regional public health unit Wednesday at the insistence of Regional Coun Whiting confirmed earlier findings hat the water was not harmful to humans Mr said thay expected the new treatment to control the iron and he feels it worked but he suspected it didn t work on the magnesium The effectiveness of the chemicals may well be the biggest offender In causing he rustcolored marks showing up In laundry The chemicals are cleaning the mains so thoroughly he rust is coming off Into the towns water supply he said All mains contain a certain amount of the stuff he said We dldnt expect the growth to be that bad He said residents with upset digestions as a result of the water should remember the well Is new water It a like going to a different town on holidays and having an upset stomach because of the new water But that mean the water la dangerous Its just different and the digestive systems must adjust to It One resident who refused to believe the water could be fit for humans If it was killing fish In aquariums was reminded fish can tolerate chlorine very well to begin wilh while it doesn t afreet humans Mr sold when they real lied hey were having problems the regional staff should have closed well down again immediately but everyone expected It to be a very short term situation which would clear up In a few days They were told by the to flush thdr linea and hey did by opening fire hydrants to let the foul water run out but It I clear up as expected Coun WW l Ing said the issue of high water bills resulting from residents flushing heir household system In an effort to get clear water will have be addressed politically by region public works commit tee next week While he agrees residents who feel the he had only little hope that he committee would agree lo adjust the bills because of the situation Public works committee chairman Bill Johnson said a similar problem arose lost year In Burlington and no adjustments were made on those water bills Rev Leo suggested that since the region has tripled the cost of water In Acton since the formation of regional government It might be a good idea raise the costs again if that a what necessary to bring in a new well and give he own good water Don Merrier of the regional public works staff said Ihe town has four wells In opera now but wilh the growth in population hat a well ho one at Prospect Park really should be functioning too If It can be treated to make the water useable the question wilt have lo be addressed as to what alter native he region must lake A full water treatment plant could cost upwards of million he said Drilling new wells Is very expensive too wih price tags or and 300 these days Then here Is possibility that a new will could produce wo lor but only In small quantities There arc several options available Ihemorechcap As result ihe region would try very hard to find a solution hat makes water from the existing well acceptable to residents The well won be put back into service again until after a public meeting to notify residents of when it will happen and what sort of treat ment Is being done on the water Coun Whiting said LOOKING FOR SEASONAL GIFT IDEAS BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY The Am Humour fn History Children Cookbook Hobbles People Current
