STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - The fight over well water continues in Bryan and Bulloch counties after Hyundai’s wells began operating this year, causing concern for residents relying on the same Floridian aquifer.

The Bryan-Bulloch Groundwater Sustainability Program Advisory Committee, on Thursday morning, approved a proposal from Georgia Southern University professionals that they will be overseeing and monitoring six wells within a five-mile radius to see if there are any impacts from the Hyundai runoff.

GSU’s Institute for Water & Health Director Dr. Asli Aslan said the decision for six is so they have statistical confidence about how the wells will be impacted.

The committee is now wondering two things. Is the data GSU collects starting now correct, and what are the impacts?
