Costs associated with complying with new federal – not state – regulations, plus continued testing, are the reasons behind the closing of wells in Colonial Park, according to a county official.
The costs of complying with federal regulations – the deadline for which is the end of this year – are the real reason why Somerset County is turning off the spigots at public access wells in Colonial Park, according to a county official.
Those costs would be incurred if the county decided to bring the wells in conformity with federal regulations, said Brian Mundhenk, the Somerset County Parks Department’s principal parks engineer. States must abide by those regulations by Dec. 31, 2014, he said.
