hired well failures on Patterson Road has blamed most of the pro blem on sewer excavations in Barrie The Examiner has learned Ulir ifiarrir Examiner The Barrie Examiner Barrie Ontario Canada Wednesday March161977 WEATHER FORECAST SUNNY 15 Per Copy Carrier Home Delivery 85lt Weekly 28 Page Excavations ge blame in well failures private hydrogeologist to study controversial Dan Brown of Ian Wilson Associates was hired by three residents whose wells failed in January The three who live in Innisfil Township just outside the city boundary have been battling to have the city take responsibility for the failures and help restore their water supply The city has offered to allow the residents to hook up to an existing Patterson Road water main at their own cost about $1000 apiece but has disclaimed rcijinsibility bas ing its argument on provin cial environment ministry report which blames most of the problem on the weather We saw few holes in the report Brown told The Ex amincrtoday Ilc said excavations for 24 inch sewer main 150 feet from the wells another sewer ex cavation directly across thc road and weather conditions are all involved in the well failures We think the principle cause of the problem is this 24inch mainhcsaid He said the water table gra dient in the area takes un derground water directly to the main Water level fluctuation due to weather conditions has been on ly about 18 inches this year not enough to harm wells which usually have seven to nine feet of water he said An earlier report by Mike Dempster lnnisfils public works superintendent also blamed most of the problem on the excavation for the 24inch main Ross Hodgins author of the environment ministry report said that excavation may have caused small part of the problem but not as much as the weather Both Hodgins and Dcmpster said the excavation across the road originally blamed by the residents could not have af fected the wells Brown said to day he disagrees The excavation is deep enough to affect the water table he said and pumping on the job site about the time the three wells failed may have been the final straw Meanwhile Innisfil Reeve Bill Gibbins said today he is seeking meeting with Barrie authorities to work out better financial deal for residents if they hook up to the watermain He said the residents are almost certain to be annexed by the city when the current an nexation dispute is settled and he will ask if they can be treated as city residents Evelyn Nevils one of the residents said today recent seepage has given her well about four feet of water but she is still bringing in extra water and taking out laundry Ant ther of the wells is still useless shesaid Two of the residents were given supplementary water from nearbycity hydrant for time but the service was
