The Town of Penetanguishene would like to advise residents and businesses that a 90-day pumping test is planned at the Robert Street West Field – Well No. 2 located at 161 Robert Street West in the Town of Penetanguishene (see figure in PDF attachment). Testing is planned to commence in late August 2021. The testing is being conducted to update groundwater quality data for the well- field and is a follow up to a similar test completed in 2012.
What to Expect:
The pumping test will be conducted under the existing Permit to Take Water for the Robert Street West Wellfield and with approval of the Department of Fisheries Ontario. The groundwater will be discharged through a diffuser and flow through an erosion control structure prior to discharge to Copeland Creek. Sampling of the discharge and of the creek downstream will be regularly complet- ed to confirm that the water quality meets the regulated standards
