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.
