Property owners that could be affected by the York1 landfill project at Dresden are being asked to submit their well water for baseline testing.
According to Dresden C.A.R.E.D. chairperson Stefan Premdas, testing is underway and the advocacy group is picking up the tab.
Premdas said samples are being taken from both surface water and well water for “insurance” purposes.
“We want to understand what we’re starting with just in case York1 and the Ford government use Bill 5 to expropriate our neighbour’s farmland to gift to York1 as a buffer zone,” Premdas said following the recent Kill Bill 5 rally July 3. “That would allow the project to happen.”
Anyone interested in testing their water is asked to email [email protected].
