In fact, a spokesman for the Durham Region Works Department told the Star last week that it is '"'most unlikely' that there would ever be water restrictions or voluntary cut-backs neces- sary insPort Perry. The situation is not the same in the former village of Newcastle wheré residents last week were asked to reduce water usage by shut- ting off lawn and garden ~ sprinklers. Water to Port Perry homes and businesses is supplied by three artesian located on Regional Road 2, about three miles south of the community. - Two of the three wells have a rated capacity of 400 gallons per minute, while Jee ; Manchester news end. Recent callers with the Mitchells were David Lang- worthy of England, Mrs. Ida Pearce, Ruth Gishler, Hilda and Janet Hofstee Sharron Millar and friends - : enjoyed last Thursday at Niagara Falls. E0000 J : | | ET RIESE (A wells Lode yA No water problems for Port Perry the third well, which came into operation early in 1978, "has a capacity of 1000 gallons per minute, and is in fact the largest well in Durham~™ Region. Worked out on a daily basis, Port Perry's three wells are capable of supply- ing some two million gallons of water each day, consider- ably more than the present needs of the community. Figures for the month of June show that the maxi- mum usage in Port Perry during one 24-hour period amounted to 560,000 gallons. The water comes from the A Oak-Ridges Moraine, and an official with Durham said ~ that even a prolonged drought in southern Ontario would not seriously affect the supply of water in the ground. The three wells are pres- sure regulated and start to pump automatically "when there is an increase in usage during 'peak times of de- "mand. | While other communiti in Ontario, including Toron- to, are forced to cut back, the lawns in Port Perry should stay green this summer, no matter how long the dry spell lasts.
