Water Wells First isn’t giving up the fight to help local families living with contaminated wells, but the future remains uncertain.
A small crowd gathered at Country View Golf Course to discuss the issue last night, and Spokesperson Jessica Brooks says the group is at a crossroads.
“We need to make a decision on what to do next. This was an information gathering session primarily: who’s damaged, who needs help, who needs direction, where are the wells that are damaged?”
She says with no action from the province on its promise to launch a full Health Hazard Investigation into contaminated wells, there’s a lot of frustration from area residents.
“I think there’s some fatigue happening, I mean this has been two and a half years already for some, and for the people in Dover it’s been closer to seven,” Brooks says. “People are frustrated, some people are desperate, I know some people were here because (they think) what’s the point?”
Brooks says they’re getting tired of waiting to hear what the province plans to do to help local families.
The group is still looking to hear from other affected homeowners to see what they want to do next.
