Mobile water testing in the works
The unit would result in more timely and accurate testing
By Heather Vincent
T -A staff
GRAND BEND - The Ausable-
Baytield Conservation Authority is
currently working in cooperation
with Grand Bend, Stephen Town-
ship and the Town of Bosanquet to
acquire a mobile water testing unit.
The project would allow water
samples from area beaches to be
evaluated in approximately six
hours. Samples would be taken to
the water plant at Port Blake which
would reduce time spent travelling.
At the present, samples are taken to
London for analysis and it is often
48 hours before results are known.
Should the results indicate a prob-
lem, the health unit posts signs that
the water may be contaminated.
The beaches are not
closed but swimming
is not recommended.
The problems with
this system is that test
results are not timely
and do not serve the
public well. Paul
Turnbull, Grand Bend
clerk -treasurer said,
"We don't feel the present system is
being fair to the public." By the
time that the water is tested, an-
alyzed and warnings posted, it may
be four days after a concern was said Prout. The impact of posting
warranted. During that time, peo- signs varies with the weather condi-
