stouffville creamery co despite the fact an unsuccessful attempt to se cure water at the 90 foot level was made by a local driller over a year ugo this time the services of an owen sound concern has been en gaged and they are equipped for very deep drilling and it is expected a depth of probably 200 feet may be reached before a satisfactory supply is secured mr borinsky states that he does not hope to obtain a gusher or self- flowing well but if water can be obtained at all he will provide electric pump to raise it and satisfied at the present time the creamery which uses a large quan ity of water gets its supply from the local domestic system which is checked out to them by meter at an annual cost around 90 it is not the cost of town water however that has induced mr borin sky to seek tor deep wall water as a matter of fact he deems local rates reasonable and service entirely satisfactory all creameries accord ing to mr borinsky endeavor to se cure deep well water because it is much colder than tap water which has to be processed in the summer season and made colder for creamery use if a successful supply is obtained mr borinsky anticipates it will cost him more than tap water but he says all important creameries just have to have this deep well water around the world hitchhiking toll bros have been secured by the united church choir to visit stouffville on the
