about the situation, and feel that
the matter should be looked into
more closely “before it happens
again.’’ “I’m very concerned that
if this is happening to the river,
how long will it be before it gets into
our wells?’’ Mr. Saxon asked. He
added that a “significant level of
fecal material’’ had shown up in
local well water just last fall, after
he and several other Cranbrook
residents had their well water
tested on their own.
Mr. Malhiot said that his office
had notified the Ministry of the
Environment (MOE) office in
OwenSoundoftheincident, but
later called back to advise that the
MNR had examined the river, and
could find nothing of ongoing
significance that would warrant a
visit by the MOE. He added that if
anyone has any information that
might shed more light on this
situation or on any similar inci
dents, they should contact either
the MNR or the MOE with the
information. “We can lay charges
if (something like) this can ever be
traced to any one source,’’ he said.
The Wingham District office of
the MNR can be reached at
357-3131 or at 1-800-265-3003,
while the MOE’s Owen Sound
office can be contacted at 1 -800-
