Well Water Survey – Participants Needed

Well Water Survey – Participants Needed

May 31, 2018

The Catfish Creek Conservation supports the following research project, and asks for the public to participate.

“Sarah Lavallee and I am a graduate student at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, under the supervision of Dr. Anna Majury. We are currently working on a research project associated with private groundwater drinking sources; i.e. well water. This project aims to understand knowledge regarding private well water use and stewardship, with the aim to develop a knowledge-based tool intended for use by private well owners and environmental specialists.

 We are interested in surveying residents who have a well on their property. The survey is a collaboration between Queen’s University, McMaster University, Dublin Institute of Technology and Public Health Ontario. The information gathered from this survey will contribute to the research project titled, “Exploring, Developing and Evaluating Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessment Measures: Implications for rural Ontario communities using private groundwater drinking sources” (The “WELLness” Project).

 Our research team is hoping to collaborate with your conservation authority in order to promote this survey through your website and/or contact lists with a link that will re-direct interested individuals to the survey. The survey will only take 10-12 minutes to complete.”

You will find the link to the survey by clicking here.

    FIRE BAN IN EFFECT - ELGIN COUNTY

    Shared from www.elgincounty.ca

    FIRE BAN IN EFFECT – ELGIN COUNTY

    (June 5, 2023) – Effective immediately, all open-air and recreational fires are prohibited anywhere in the City of St. Thomas, Town of Aylmer and the Townships and Municipalities within the County of Elgin. Open air fires are defined as any fire outside of a building and include bonfires, campfires, burn barrels, outdoor fireplaces/chimineas or any other fires set in open air.

    Although there is some variation across Elgin County, dry conditions are consistent throughout. This fire ban is being imposed due to the extreme dryness of vegetation in the area and shall remain in effect until further notice.

    If you discover an open-air fire, it is very important that you report fires immediately to 9-1-1. Do not delay reporting while attempting to control or extinguish the fire.

    All burn permits in these municipalities are now suspended. No burn permits will be issued until the ban is lifted.

    For any questions or possible exemptions within your municipality please check their appropriate website, social media, or contact the Municipality and/or fire department having jurisdiction.
