LL‘. Nursery Provided as Needed
Seaforth and District Commu-
nity Centres is seeking to attract
new advertisers for the arena's
ice surface and resurfacer
machine in time for the start of
the 2015-2016 season.
The committee passed a
motion at its Feb. 12 meeting to
charge $300 annually over a three-
year term for an advertisement on
the rink's ice surface located off
centre in the neutral zone.
The advertisement space is
stipulated not to exceed 4' X 8;
according to the motion.
The committee also voted to
charge $500 annually over three
years for advertising space on its
Olympia ice resurfacer machine.
According to the committee's
meeting minutes, facility manager
Dave Meriam reached out to other
arenas to ask what they charged for
advertising space. Meriam said
other facility managers informed
him that pricing greatly depends
on the size and location of the
advertisement both on the ice sur-
face and on the arena's resurfacer.
Plowing Match
The arena committee also voted
to submit a letter to the organizers
of the 2017 International Plowing
Match offering free rentals for any
of their banquets as part of an
effort to showcase Seaforth and
the surrounding area.
All proceeds from these
events would go to the coffers of
the Seaforth and District Com-
munity Centres.
Seaforth wastewater facility
expansion
The Municipality of Huron East
is set to host a public information
session to showcase its prelimi-
nary findings on how the closing
of the Seaforth Creamery will
impact the future of the commu-
nity's wastewater treatment plant.
In 2009, Huron East completed
a Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment (EA) to identify a pre-
ferred solution for increasing the
capacity of the Seaforth Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP) to allow
continued growth and develop-
ment within the community, the
municipality said in a prepared
statement on its website.
The recommended solution
identified in the Environmental
Study Report (ESR), according to
the municipality, was to expand
and upgrade the existing STP from
1,900 m3 /d to 3,665 m 3 /d with
the construction of two additional
treatment trains to accommodate
future growth in the former Town
of Seaforth, and to service the two
nearby communities of Egmond-
ville and Harpurhey over a 25 -year
planning horizon
Since the completion of the
Class EA, the E.D. Smith food
processing facility (locallyknown
as the Seaforth Creamery) closed
in 2013, affecting the quantity
and quality of the raw wastewa-
ter received at the Seaforth STP,
the municipality noted.
Huron East is now evaluating
the impacts of this closure on raw
wastewater flows and pollutant
loadings, and determining if it is
feasible to revise the design
capacity of the STP. An adden-
dum to the 2009 ESR will be pre-
pared to document the findings.
A Public Information Centre
(PIC) will be held to present the
preliminary findings and receive
input from interested stakehold-
ers and the public on April 8 at
the Seaforth Community Centre
on 122 Duke Street.
The event will run from 6 p.m.
to 8 p.m.
Vanastra Recreation Cen-
tre's roof woes
Members of the Vanastra Rec-
reation Centre committee are
pressing for the immediate repair
of the facility's roof, including the
prospective expenditure in its
budget for 2015.
According to the minutes of
the committee's March 10 meet-
ing, committee members
backed a proposal to proceed
with the lowest quote - which
totals roughly $28,000 - to
replace 2,400 square feet of the
centre's roof above the fitness
room and men's changing room.
The motion is subject to
approval by Huron East council.
Committee members, the
minutes read, had requested
that the centre's facility manager
contact a roofing firm about
concerns with leaks relating to
the installation of solar panels.
According to the minutes, the
firm that had installed the panels
told the facility manager that they
had completed repairs to the roof
prior to installing the panels.
The firm, however, also said that
a new roof should've been installed
prior to implementing the panels
and refused to guarantee that the
roof under the panels would not
leak in the future as itis still the orig-
inal roof, the minutes read.
Public notice issued about
water service
The Municipality of Huron East
issued a notice on its website ear-
lier this month. It is posted below:
Public Notice to Seaforth and
Brussels Residents Only
Milder weather does not
mean any immediate relief for
people with frozen water pipes.
There are still some homes and
businesses in Seaforth and Brussels
without water or on temporary ser-
vices, and it could be weeks before
everyone gets their service back
People with frozen pipes can
get water at the arenas in Sea -
forth & Brussels, at no charge.
Huron East Public Works
Manager Barry Mills reminds
people who have a normal flow
of water to keep one cold water
tap running until further notice.
Ifyou notice thatyourwater flow
is slowing or you have rusty water,
this could be an indication that your
lines are about to freeze and you
should immediately run the cold
water tap full force for 10 minutes
till the water clears, and then leave
the tap on until further notice.
Mills explains; "It freezes
from the top down and it's going
to thaw from the top down, so
even though the temperature is
milder and the snow is melting,
the ground is still frozen where
your water service is located:'
