Kent Weazel with Stantec Engineering is one of the people who worked on the model. He says knowing how groundwater flows will help the town when it decides to expand the municipal water system, when it wants to develop a new subdivision or when there is a contamination issue.
Overall, Weazel says the town has lots of available, good quality groundwater but there can be areas that have more or less water than others.
Mayor Murray Driscoll says everyone in Quispamsis won't be getting municipal water overnight but it's good to know where the water is for when the town needs to draw on it.
Town councillors have been told using municipal water instead of individual wells does have it's benefits including safety.
