I currently live in rural New Dundee. My family of 6 drink water from our private well. I have young children that attend New Dundee public school. We plan on living here forever.
Allowing this permit will negatively impact my family. This is an absurd amount of water to take from the ground. This much water could empty the aquifer. Or potentially lower the level so much that my family would not have water. What happens when households in the area run out of water? Will the province be held liable because of negligently handing out permits to take excessive amount of water. Especially when the region has already identified an issue with water supply?
My family asks that the province acts responsibly with our future. Do not hand out permits to take water until the supply issue is addressed.
