Well 7 and 8 Capacity Expansion

The Municipality is working to increase the water taking capacity of wells 7 and 8. The wells were previously  tested to prove that the underground aquifer would be suitable for the needs of the town. At that time, the wells showed that they could exceed the needs of Almonte's residents. Now that the town is growing, Municipal staff are working through the process of amending our Permit To Take Water and our Municipal Drinking Water Licence to allow us to draw more water (in-line with the previously proven capacity of the wells).
