WWF Says Construction Destroying Wells

20170802_111359Local group Water Wells First says construction activity related to North Kent 1 has ruined yet another water well.

Head of the activist organization, Kevin Jakubec says the Brooks family is dealing with unprecedented sediment issues.

“Their wells have been extensively tested prior and the water was completely fine, and now it is full of sediments. When Paul contacted me last night the time between plugging hand increased to one a minute plugging consistently,” says Jakubec. “So much so that when I talked to Bill Clarke, our hydro geologist, he believes strongly that so much sediment has come in it has chocked the pump.”

According to Jakubec, the problemĀ at the Brook Line property started on Friday, just one day after pile driving operations began on a turbine about 1km away.
