The opening date for the Community Well has been moved from June 8 to early July.

Last summer, people in need drew more than 32,000 gallons of water from the new Community Well at the Dale Bennet Memorial Baseball Field. When we began planning this well, we conceived of the project as a demonstration of the existence of a large aquifer, large enough to supply piped water to the entire Highway 7 core of Musquodoboit Harbour.

Given the severe drought that dried up so many wells, both dug and drilled, we were lucky to have this water source in place, and not be forced to rely on expensive bottled water.

The volunteer team reviewed this experience after we closed the well in the fall. We decided to invest in a number of improvements. To make it possible to open the well earlier in the spring, and keep it open later in the fall, we insulated the walls and ceiling of the building. We had some problems last year with having enough
battery power on hand to drive the pump and the water dispenser, so we have added two new solar panels on the ground next to the pump house, and more powerful batteries.

We had hoped to have the well open on June 8. The electrical upgrades have made it necessary to acquire a number of new permits. And as is not uncommon in HRM, it has taken longer to get all the permits in place.

We regret not being able to open as early as we would have liked. The volunteers who got this project off the ground last year are working every day to finish up the permitting process.

Thank you for your support and we will keep you informed via Facebook and on the Old School’s website
