Hills Ward Councillor Joe Hewitt at a town general committee meeting Mon day night Mr one of several Regional staff present for a 60page report on Fairy Lake told councillors water shortages are a problem all over and reach as far as Durham Region Eleven Eighth Line residents sent a petition to the town asking that Albion Sand and Gravel Ltd stop all extraction at or below the aquifer level The group also wants the town to coordinate with Regional and provincial govern ments until costs for drilling deeper wells are determined An aquifer is a layer of rock con taining ground water The petitioners further ask coun cil to investigate on behalf of the residents the routing of town water to the Eighth Line Sideroad area where they say wells are of questionable value Mr Pattulio told councillors dry summers and light snowfall have contributed to dry wells But the environmental health supervisor said pumping from a gravel pit could lower the water table Halton Hills Mayor Russ Miller suggested the town meet with the provincial minister of the environ ment and natural resources to find the cause of the water shortage We should sit down and generally talk about it because theres a lot of people out of water Theres no doubt about that The mayor said he wants to know what effect the aggregate industry has on groundwater Acton Coun Norm Elliott said the town should hire a hydrogeologist for study of the water problem Lets go the whole yards and find out from people who know he said If were going to make some inquiries lets go beyond measuring rainfall Waterford For
