4--The Canadian Champion, Fridayý February 16, 2001 Private wetl owners can get deal on treatment systemns By CARRIE BRUNET The Champion The Halton Regional Health Department has partnered with local corn- panies to provide water treatment systems for pri- vate wells at a lower cost. According to Tony Amalfa. envi- roomental health manager for Uic department, water treatment sys- tems are necessary in many private wells in Halton. A survey carried out last year indicatedti Uat about haîf of ail wells in the region had bacterial problems. Althougi tichea"th department bati planned to do thc study long before thc E Coli outbreak in walkerton, Mr. Amalfa said Uie scace gave their well repair carn- paign a lot of publicity. There are more than 70,000 wells in Halton. translating into about 35,000 wells in nced of bac- terial control. In most cases, repairs to the wetl structure itseîf to eliminate mun-off int the water supply woutd pre- vent bacteria. "We've founti in our survey that in shallow-dug wells, maintenance is not good," he saiti. "Scals are not tight enougli, titis are cracked. " The cost of repaining wells coutti bic minimal compared to water treatment systema that couli mun upward of $ 1,000. Mr. Amalfa sug- gesteti residents contact Uic health departmient to have an inspector assess Uic situation for Uiem. The public health depariment water treatment because a welt containing bacteria could contami- nate other water supplies. However in some cases, where bacteria is espcîally invasive, water purifying systeras such as chlorinating devices or ultraviolet tight treatment are necessary. Chlorinating devices riti water ot' bacteria by adding chemicals to the water. while Uic ultraviolet tight treatment kilts bacteria as the water passes through tic light bcam. in this case, after residents have had their wells assessed by thc bcalth depatment, a list of compa- nies offening discounts to Halton residents will lie provided.
