Workers have completed water sampling work on two wells near the site of the downtown Wheatley explosion that were recently installed.
The municipality provided an update late Tuesday evening which stated gas and water analysis is now underway on the wells near APEC 2 and the Wheatley arena.
Results from the sampling will help the investigation team get a better understanding of the geology under Wheatley.
"Samples obtained at these monitoring locations will be compared to previous samples taken from the source of the explosion," a release from the Municipality of Chatham-Kent read.
Equipment for the re-drilling of the well at APEC 2 in the municipal parking lot has begun to arrive on site. Plans are being finalized for a tentative start later this week.
Homeowner access was completed last weekend and will be paused while the work is ongoing.
