Caption/Description

Earlier in the year, one of Bayview's most pressing problems was the poor water quality from its shallow hand pump wells. As Bayview's plight was publicized, the town got a grant and deeper wells were dug and the water quality improved. At a recent community get together, guests at the gathering were invited by Bayview activist Alice Coles to feel the cool, clean water and sample it. These wells are only a temporary emergency solution indoor plumbing for a view is at least two years away.
