SECURE WATER
FROM HURON
AT CENTRALIA
Department of National Defence,
concerned at a lack of adequate
wgter• supplies for its big Centralia
RCAF station, yet may turn to
Lake Huron as a source.
The Department, temporarily at
least, has suspended pipe -laying
operations from a well in Woodham
following representations from two
district members of parliament. The
M,P.'s carried to Defence Minister
Brooke Claxton the protests of re-
gional farmers that the RCAF was
imperiling farm supplies.
Andrew Y. McLean, Liberal M.P.
for Huron -Perth, and James Corry,
his Liberal colleague from Perth,
have been pressing the farmers'
case in Ottawa and urging a water -
from Huron project:
Various plans were being exam'
fined, said the Department, One was
to have water supplied from a deep
well which would not affect the ex-
isting water table, in the Depart-
ment's opinion,
The tapping of Lake Huron for
water supplies long has been dis-
cussed in Western Ontario as mu-
nicipalities have had to go farther
and farther afield for water.
The Centralia station has had
difficulty obtaining adequate water
supplies since it first was opened in
1942. At that time a number of
wells were drilled and while in cer-
tain cases water was found avail-
able in quantity, it was discovered
too high in sulphur content to be
fit for use.
