WEST MONTROSE GETS A BAIT & SWITCH WATER DEAL?

I have a number of concerns with the process around the class environmental assessment for a new water supply for West Montrose. The basic need for a new water supply is not one of them. Conversely the need for a new supply for Conestogo has not been shown to date. Here is where I find the process very weird. The West Montrose EA at one point had nine different options from Do Nothing to new deep overburden wells, bedrock wells and outside sources of water from Elmira or Conestogo. We were assurred that the eventually preferred option of a pipeline from Conestogo was viable in terms of water quantity and quality. If that is the case then why the bait and switch? Why after the pipeline to Conestogo is chosen based upon using two local groundwater wells, has an environmental assessment for Constogo's water suddenly been deemed necessary? Why was the possibility of hooking into the Region's IUS (integrated urban system) through Conestogo not on the table for West Montrose residents initially? They were advised that they could hook up to the IUS through Elmira but if they went to Conestogo it would be to hook up to their current in town Conestogo Plains two wells.
