A peek from the Town Crier’s March 22, 1968  issue

A peek from the Town Crier’s March 22, 1968  issue – “That’s a real well” commented Mr. George Plant (left) of the consulting engineer firm of Proctor & Redfern, Kitchener, when he talked to the Crier.  They were making final tests of a newly drilled water well in Mildmay. International Water Supply of London was the firm that drilled the well, a 10” diameter to a depth of 114’.  Burt Hodgins (2nd from left) of the drilling firm and Councillor George Culbert Sr. (3rd from left) watch another Councillor, Ted Dietz as he takes a sample sip from the new well. They were searching for a well that would produce 150-gallons a minute… they sure did, in fact this one did as high as 250-gallons per minute, and at that time they were using the larger pipe lying by the feet of Councillor Dietz.    – Town Crier photo
