ILLEGAL FENCE ALERT – HCA STARTS WATER PRIVATIZATION

ANCASTER WELL ACCESS AND CONSTRUCTION WORK

Due to changes to the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards, fencing and a swipe card gate system is currently being installed around the well taps which must be inspected by Hamilton Public Health Services for its approval.

If approved, and effective January 1, 2018, access will only be permitted to those who have obtained a swipe card from the Hamilton Conservation Authority main office, located at 838 Mineral Springs Road,  which will require signing of a legal waiver and payment of a one-time $10 fee for the swipe card.

It is anticipated that cards will be available beginning December 1, 2017, pending inspection approval by Hamilton Public Health Services.

For more information, please call the Hamilton Conservation Authority at 905-525-2181.
