Added to this is the strong likelihood that there is even more in the southern part of the village. This is what emerges from the studies that the Town has carried out over the past year on its water supply, both in the village and in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is excellent news for all the citizens of Sutton,\u201d enthused Mayor Robert Beno\u00eet. \u201cThe population can now be reassured: Sutton has substantial drinking water resources. However, this is no reason to waste this wealth, and we must increase our personal and collective efforts to better consume and protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Very reassuring figures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The studies that confirmed these results were part of the measures announced in the Town\u2019s April 2022 action plan <a href=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/en\/the-town-of-sutton-protects-its-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to protect its water<\/a>, following an alarming report of water shortages in the mountains. LNA, a company specializing in hydrogeology and the environment, carried out a study to determine the recharge capacity of the water table that currently supplies the Academy well. Another study, entrusted to SNC Lavalin, confirmed the absence of underground water reserves in the mountain, thus eliminating any hope of finding other sources of supply in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting data are extremely positive :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With a current average flow of 600&nbsp;m3 of water per day, the Academy well can safely supply up to 3 times more, or 1838&nbsp;m3 per day; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By adding and connecting a second well near Route&nbsp;215 (as recommended in the report), a safe and prudent supply can go up to 5.5 times more, or 3300&nbsp;m3 per day. This investment would also secure the village\u2019s water supply, which currently depends exclusively on the 40-year-old Academy well.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The extra water available would feed the mountain area\u2019s water supply network, relieving it of a significant number of homes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solutions for the short, medium and long term<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow that we have this data, we can make informed decisions,\u201d commented the mayor. \u201cWe\u2019re moving towards a two-phase strategy that will protect our water supply in the long term while allowing for sustainable development of the village and the mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the short term<\/strong>, the Town will reassess the scope and duration of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/en\/the-mrc-council-of-mayors-approves-the-town-of-suttons-request-for-interim-control\/\">Interim Control By-law (RCI)<\/a> that it and the Brome Missisquoi MRC imposed in 2022. Of course, the RCI will continue to apply to new homes until the projects mentioned below have been financed, built and put into operation. Water availability in the mountains, particularly in the Maple sector, is still not sufficient to supply new construction. On the other hand, in the Academy sector, which is served by individual wells, it would be possible to relax some of the RCI\u2019s more restrictive zoning and subdivision measures, provided that the natural recharge of water to the village\u2019s water table is preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the medium term<\/strong>, the addition of drinking water distribution capacity on the mountain could be considered progressively with a first phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phase 1<\/strong><br>\u2713 Installation of 2,350&nbsp;m of pipeline and 3 booster pumps under Maple Street;<br>\u2713 Servicing of 258 homes currently served by the mountain network;<br>\u2713 Estimated cost between $7&nbsp;million and $10&nbsp;million, to be confirmed by an engineering study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the long term<\/strong>, depending on the development and densification orientations adopted as part of the urban plan review, a second phase could be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phase 2<\/strong><br>\u2713 Installation of 1,200&nbsp;m of additional pipeline, 1 additional booster pump and 1 reservoir at the top of Chemin Boulanger;<br>\u2713 Servicing of 741 additional homes currently served by the mountain networke;<br>\u2713 Estimated cost: $10&nbsp;million, to be confirmed by an engineering study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In total<\/strong>, the completion of these two phases would, together, relieve the mountain network by withdrawing nearly 1,000 housing units and 5 commercial establishments from the mountain sector, using water from the village. Taking into account current consumption of 600 m3 in the village, a total of 1,069&nbsp;m3 of water per day would be required to meet these additional needs, i.e. a drawdown of only 58% from the Academy well, or only 32% from the two wells combined (Academy and new well on Route 215): very reassuring figures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3-1024x461.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3-1536x691.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Photo-conference-de-presse-5-decembre-2023-quel-futur-pour-notre-eau-3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Immediate action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the strength of all this information, the Town of Sutton intends to launch the study process for the technical and financial realization of a second well in the village as early as 2024.
