A special meeting of the Association was held at 10:00 am on August 25 in the McKellar Community Centre. Water testing was the primary topic. Ted Thompson, of Martha Drive, was a guest speaker and provided attendees with some perspective regarding the issues of septic re-inspection and water quality.
Water quality on McKellar Lake and Grey Owl Lake is generally good, however, it is not recommended for drinking without filtering and treatment. The water on both McKellar and Grey Owl Lakes is well within provincial guidelines for swimming.
Attendees voted to initiate a more formal level of testing beginning in the spring of 2002. More details to follow on the Water Testing page.
