County Staff continue to investigate how the Wellington Park fountain was filled with a chemical degreaser late last week. Workers found another bottle of commercial chemical in the bushes near the fountain yesterday. The County's Superintendent of Forestry and Cemeteries Steve Scheers tells CD 98.9 they've began taking steps in finding out who is responsible. While workers have found the diluted chemical in the water has virtually eliminated the health and environmental hazards, they're not taking any chances. They've begun pumping out the water and will be spreading it on to gravel roadways to allow it to safely evaporate. Scheers says they'll re-evaluate the situation regarding the pond after next weekend's Friendship Festival.
