The fight by Spallumcheen residents to protect its drinking water source has gained more weight.
The University of Victoria-based Environmental Law Centre has filed, on behalf of the Save Hullcar Aquifer Team (SHAT), a notice to three officials at Interior Health, calling for the issue of a drinking water hazard abatement and prevention order.
The move addresses nitrate contamination in the Hullcar aquifer which is an important source of public drinking water.
