New members are always welcome. Water problems '(From page 1) problems "are mainly due to road salting operations and poor well construction." And the report says poor well construction results in septic system and surface run-off entering the wells, producing elevated nitrate levels. Virtually all of the wells in the community are less than 30 feet deep. However, the Ministry of the Environment has agreed to pay 75 per cent of the cost putting in new wells. Officials believe there is water at a depth of about 100 to 150 feet. The test well should determine how much water is there, whether it is "acceptable quality, and ' whether steps can be taken to prevent poor quality water from seaping down to the deeper levels. Many residents of the community now bring their drinking water.from a spring in the Chalk Lake area on Regional Road 23, a round trip of about 10 miles from Manchester. a ---- ee ------
