Regional CuciirDiane Hamre and Regiaonal Chair- mani Gary Herrema have both said that after twa years it is time the Ministry of the Envir-onment produced a study they have conducted on Weil Pollution in the hamiet of' Newtonville. The-problem of well con- tamination in Newtonill;!e first came to ight some three years ago resulting in thre Ministry of the Enironmient study which was undertaken two years ago. The study is to determine what action can be takeni so that residents can be assured of safe water supply. Wells are contaminated by fecal material and chloroform bacteria. A Board of Health survey revealed that 75 per- half-mnile radius of the Village wvere providing water unfit for human use. At this point, the province was called in to do its own study Llhrough the Ministry of' the Environmnent and Counc. Hamrre said the report is long overdue and that residents in the area have been copîng with undrinkable water for far too long. Brian Devitt of' the Regi;onal Environmental Health Services division has said thre aquifer in the Newtonvilie area may have suffered contamination which miay be impossible to fix. He said aIl residents have been warned of the problem and shown how to make the water drinkable. Some, he said, are srerlizing their water while others are bringing- it in from a safe source. Counc. Hamre said the study is to tell whether residents need a new private weil, a community ,vell or a municipal water system. She said she doubted a municipal systemn wouid be accepted by residents due to the horren- dous cost.
