WELL E10 SOUTH END of ELMIRA

A phone call to the Region of Waterloo confirmed that the last time well E10 (Scotch Line & #85) was on line in the distribution system was in 2001. Obviously I would like to see further test results in regards to the presence of NDMA and Dichloromethane.

Today's K-W Record, Local Section, has a PUBLIC NOTICE titled "Strange St. Water Supply System Upgrade Class Environmental Assessment Update". The timing is exquisite considering just two days ago I informed readers of the Advocate of the huge issues surrounding these wells. There isn't a mention of chemical pollution in this wellfield in this Public Notice. Nevertheless back in 1988, a partial list of detected industrial chemicals included TRICHLOROETHYLENE, 1,1,1 TRICHLORETHANE, PHENOL, XYLENE, PYRENE, STYRENE, ETHYL BENZENE etc.. The first Public Information Centre will be held on June 24, 2010, 5-8 pm. at Westmount Public Scxhool, 329 Glasgow St. Kitchener.
