Mayor Randy Hope told 99.1’s XS Mornings there is nothing wrong with getting drinking water from Lake Erie. He says the water from Lake Erie goes through the filtration system in Chatham and meets all the requirements and standards.
Ward 5 representative Jeff Wesley says there are many things to take into consideration and there are advantages to having Wallaceburg get their drinking water from the current or possible alternative source, other than Lake Erie, and that is not just for Wallaceburg but for all of Chatham Kent. He says all the recommendations will be laid out for the public to examine so that is why it is imperative for all to come out to the meeting Thursday evening.
The public meeting will be held on Thursday evening at 6:30 pm. at the UAW Hall on Elm St. in Wallaceburg.
