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:'
