New Albany’s search for water for Intel goes back years, far beyond Granville

Read the full story in the Columbus Dispatch.

A search for additional water sources for Intel that came to light when a Granville Township trustee sold 106 acres to The New Albany Co. in September has been going on two years longer and is more extensive than some officials in Licking County knew.

And Granville officials are raising alarms about possible drinking water contamination from a federal Superfund site in the village if anyone disturbs the aquifer serving Granville and Alexandria residents by drilling new wells nearby and pumping significant amounts of water from the aquifer.

At the same time, local officials from across western Licking County say the county commissioners need to provide more leadership so that government leaders at all levels are working together rather than leaving each community to fend for itself as development accelerates.
