Source & supply
Deep bedrock aquifer (seven municipal wells)
Oxford County system; water tower (~2,840 m³) and Merritt Street reservoir (~3,290 m³); ~14,900 people.
Naturally high hydrogen sulphide in the bedrock aquifer forces nearly every well to have its own mini treatment train before entering the same pressure zone.
Treatment
Multiple Ingersoll Water Treatment Facilities (per-well sites)
Secure groundwater. Most sites: oxidation/filtration for H₂S, iron, manganese; ferric sulfate/chloride aids; sodium hypochlorite or chlorine gas. Wallace Line WTF offline in recent reports.
