"An area of great potential," says Chairman Jack Graul about Listowel - the site of a proposed dam and reservoir, and chaneel improvements. Preliminary' en- gineering, was carried out in 1970 proposing improvements of the serious problem area of the upper Maitland Watershed, above and in the Town of Listowel. Oh. 12 occasions the, last.,120 years the Maitland has overflowed its" banks pato the town streets. Flooding is usually the result of late' fall; winter, and early spring' snow melt runoff and ice obstructions. Mrs. Marlene Shiell, Secretary-Treasurer for the Conservation Authority re- calls* ^In 1953, Hurrican Hazel's heavy rains and strong 'winds caused extensive flooding 'in the town." In the late winter of 1954 a dynamite blast averted possible damage when ice bloCked the entrance to the conduit. Wat r marks in the downtown sto remain as evidence of rive floods; of the disaster in March 19, l948 reported in the Listowel Banner as lithe greatest flood ever with 4 ft. of water above Main Street". Floodplain mapping or zoning of the area is now being undertaken and this will allow completion- of the aforementioned projects. Fill and construction regulations are also being developed for the town, to reduce enroachment on the floodplain lands, And then it was time for lunch, enjoyed by all at the Gal- braith Conservation Area, East of Atwood; a 100 acre property purchased by the Authority in 1955 at a cost of $3,000.
