Water “younger than one year old” is present in one of the Grampian wells – younger water may be a risk to public health due to the potential presence of bacteria and viruses. It is not possible in the short term to isolate the well, so the Council is restarting temporary chlorination as a precautionary measure. The Council will repeat the age dating analysis and explore options for the pump station.
