<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I spoke with a retired bylaw
officer from the townships who shared some horror stories about private well owners
in the townships going on city water who did not decommission their wells
properly – if at all. Some were even dumping manure into old wells. I don’t
believe there is any mandatory requirements to properly decommission abandoned
private wells (to the best of my knowledge). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>Thank you for your interest in the RBC Blue Water Grant that GRCA
received. The funding will be used to support a number of workshops
using the rural stewardship guide. There will also be funding made available to
provide landowners with assistance to implement projects that they identify
during the workshops. Well decommissioning could be included in the
funding provided. Currently landowners in Wellington County and the
Upper Grand have access to 100% funding to decommission abandoned wells.
As Dave has passed on to you there are also locations throughout the watershed
where the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program will fund well
decommissioning. Farmers can access the Environmental Farm Plan funding
too. We will be looking at funding gaps and needs and will try to fill in
areas where funding is currently not available. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

assistance available to landowners. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
