I have taken 15 samples of well water to the Public Analyst
from 13 wells.
In all cases (except two) the Analyst reported the water as
being unfit for drinking. In two it was suspicious.
In two cases the wells were at once closed and filled in,
Company's water being provided.
In one case the well was closed, and a new one provided.
The water from which was also reported as unfit for drinking, but
is still being used.
In one case the well is closed and water obtained elsewhere.
In two cases where the wells were cleansed, the water, on
being analysed, was reported as unfit for drinking, but is still
being used.
In four cases nothing has been done. The water is still
being used.
