Fish farm not affecting wells
A recent inspection by the Department of Natural Resources showed that Bell Aquaculture in Albany is not affecting its neighbors’ water wells.
The inspection came after neighbors complained about a variety of problems they have with the fish farm, which is planning a $30 million expansion in Albany.
The department inspected the water wells of half a dozen neighbors and found water levels were the same as when the water level was created.
The water level in the oldest well was 25 feet below land surface when recently inspected, which was almost identical to the water level when the well was first drilled in 1985, Mark Basch, the head of DNR’s water rights and use section, told The Star Press.[[In-content Ad]]
