WAS THE WEST MONTROSE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A SHAM?

It sure looks that way to me. There was a five minute investigation of overburden (sand & gravel above the bedrock) wells and a further five minute investigation of a currently existing bedrock well right beside the Treatment Building on Tallwood Drive in West Montrose. Both these local water supply options were summarily dismissed allegedly due to a discontinuous Overburden Aquifer and allegedly due to treatment requirements for the Bedrock well.

Bedrock wells often require treatment to remove sulphates and other naturally occurring compounds that dissolve into their groundwater. This is routine and to be expected. Following is a list of nearby communities who draw their drinking water from bedrock aquifers: Cambridge draw the majority of their drinking water from bedrock aquifers. Dundalk, Grand Valley, Marsville, Drayton, Moorefield, Fergus, Elora, Rockwood, Guelph, Linwood, New Hamburg, Milverton and Paris. These towns and cities are located north, south, east and west of West Montrose. They apparently on a daily basis sucessfully treat bedrock aquifer water. Apparently the Region of Waterloo have no institutional memory. They can treat bedrock aquifer in one location but forget how in others. Clearly they have their own source water predetermined and are simply going through the motions here.
