The kind of well rural Huron
County residents draw their water
from is the greatest factor in the
purity of their water, a study
released by the Huron County
Health Unit says.
In releasing the study, Sheryl
.Feagan, acting director of the
health unit, told Huron County
councillors July 2 that some misin-
terpretations of data in the past
have made it appear well contami-
nation is much higher than it is.
The health unit's study showed
only 15 per cent of drilled wells
had any bacterial contamination
while 74 per cent of dug wells had
problems.
"Dug wells are susceptible and
extremely unstable," she said.
The key message, Feagan said, is
that it is important to test well
water regularly because conditions
can change. Dug wells need to be
tested more often than drilled wells.
Nitrate levels were also consider-
ably higher in dug wells than in
drilled wells. Both dug and drilled
wells had similar ratios of about 30
per cent with more than the recom-
mended levels of sodium. Drilled
wells, however, had a higher inci-
dence of greater than recommended
levels of fluoride — 43 per cent of
drilled wells to 7.4 per cent in dug
wells.
The study recommends home-
owners in central and southern
parts of the county check the fluo-
ride levels of their well water. Dug
wells are the most apt to provide
too little fluoride in the water for
the protection of tooth decay.
