W.O.W.'s Fundraiser Committee would like to thank everyone who donated to its Rummage Sale held July 21, its workers, and those who attended the sale despite the heat. It was another successful event and a job well done. Only about one half dozen of the 9400 wells take spring water. Of these half dozen, NONE are even close to the capacity of the proposed Perrier wells.
Spring water is a source of surface water and surface water is protected by Wisconsin law.
And this spring water is the highest quality source of surface water. It is cold, oxygenated, supports trout, and is drinkable. If this high quality spring water were removed that would leave the remaining surface water composed of a higher percentage of runoff from fields, barnyards, roads, etc., which often is quite polluted. Thus the surface water would be degraded in our rivers and lakes. A second way in which the proposed Perrier wells would be different is in the amount of water taken in a year.
