The resolution was passed Monday afternoon on the suggestion from councillors Yvonne Christie and Don Co- chrane. "The only reason that spring should be capped is if the water becomes polluted," stated councillor Christie. Council was presented with a survey conducted by lo- cal shop owner Lyn Sparling which showed that 84 people wanted the spring kept open and available. Four people had no opinion and just one suggest- editbe closed.

The spring comes out of the ground in Uxbridge Township on the west side of Durham Road, the water goes under the road via a pipe and on the Scu- gog side, hundreds of people stop to fill jugs and containers each week. ; The Regional government is very concerned about the po- tential for a serious accident with so many people stopping their cars beside the road as the collect their water.

Councillor Christie has said in the past that many resi- dents of rural Scugog depend on that spring for drinking water, especially those with bad wells. At one point this winter, the Region considered spending $140,000 to construct a parking area for people collecting water, but the Region's legal depart- ment reacted cooly to that idea from a liability point of view. It was not know Monday af- ternoon whether Uxbridge Township council had passed any kind of resolution on wheth- er the spring should be capped ornot.
